Cornell Engineering researchers are part of a research group that has applied a new X-ray-based reconstruction technique to observe topological defects in a nanoscale self-assembly-based cubic network structure of a polymer-metal composite material.
A supercrystal formation previously unobserved in the thin-film Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 was discovered by a Cornell-led research team, potentially unlocking new ways to engineer materials and devices with tunable electronic properties.
A Cornell team used a new form of high-resolution optical imaging to better understand how adsorption – i.e., the clinging of molecules to surfaces – works on the semiconductor titanium dioxide with a gold particle added as a co-catalyst.
Using data from precision radar experiments, a Cornell-led research team was able, for the first time, to separately analyze and estimate the composition and roughness of sea surfaces on the Saturn moon Titan.
An international research team discovered that the gas in a Hyper Luminous Infrared Galaxy was rotating in an organized fashion, rather than in the chaotic way expected after a galactic collision –– a surprising result.
Abruña was selected in the “non-traditional energy” category for “foundational contributions spanning electrochemistry, batteries, fuel cells and molecular electronics.”
Cornell Atkinson’s annual Academic Venture Fund will provide nearly $1 million in seed funding to support research teams across five colleges and 11 departments, many with key external partnerships.
