Research by a group led by chemistry professor Peng Chen reveals 'talk' between nanoscale catalysts, and offers a new conceptual framework that could lead to better design of synthetic nanocatalysts.
Jin Suntivich, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, will study catalysts in a new way using a $750,000 award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2017 Early Career Research Program.
Assistant professor Nicole Benedek and postdoc Guru Khalsa are working to perfect a method for changing the properties of a material by zapping it with a beam of laser light.
A team led by Paul Steen, the Maxwell M. Upson Professor in Engineering, has created a periodic table of droplet motions, inspired in part by parallels between the symmetries of atomic orbitals, which determine elements’ positions on the classic periodic table, and the energies which determine droplet shapes.
Allen Jiang '18, a chemical engineering major from Redmond, Washington, has won a 2017 Goldwater Scholarship, which recognizes top undergraduates in mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering.
Ninety-eight Cornell graduate and professional students will travel to 47 countries over the next year with support from the Einaudi Center's International Travel Grant Program.
