In A&S, Gaby Markle '26 found "an environment where changing directions wasn’t seen as a setback, but as a natural part of intellectual growth," which allowed her to pursue research into the molecular principles that govern biological systems. @CornellChem

New paper in collaboration with Dr. Piotr Zelenay! Here we perform X-ray absorption spectroscopy showing that the formed CO during CO2 reduction induces dynamic transformations on Ni single-atoms catalysts resulting in a minor fraction of Ni nanoparticles. https://t.co/u1ixToPXlu

Check out team MOFganic's newest entry, out now in @J_A_C_S! Superstar PhD student Yihuan showed that MOFs allow for dosage delivery of simple fluorinated gases, enabling switchable control over borylated vs iodinated product formation in electroreductive radical reactions.

[Yang Group @ Cornell @YaoYang_Cornell]

Our group made contributions to an exciting operando resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSoXS) method. Led by Dr. Cheng Wang at ALS, operando RSoXS can probe buried solid-liquid interface at Angstrom-level resolution. @CornellChem https://t.co/tyi8OwdO8l

New Nano Letters article now online! We report a method for performing operando EC-STEM with rigorous electrochemistry by real-time potential calibration via a metal-bridge strategy with an external Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Here is the link!

Why does carbon capture remain essential?

In this episode of Research Matters, @CornellCAS chemist Phillip Milner explains a breakthrough carbon-capture system that uses sunlight—rather than fossil-fuel energy—to both capture and release carbon dioxide, potentially transforming how we tackle emissions.

The conversation explores why carbon capture remains essential, how the technology works in real-world conditions, and what it could mean for the cost and scalability of climate solutions.

Spring break is here 🪻☀️
No classes, no labs, no lectures. We hope everyone is recharging and enjoying this time!
