Jin Suntivich has been approved for promotion to Associate Professor with Tenure by the Cornell Board of Trustees. The Suntivich group focuses on identifying design strategies based on optics and electronic structure engineering to discover new materials and devices for sustainable energy and environmental technologies. Ongoing efforts in our group include: Electrocatalysts and photocatalysts from transition metal oxide heterostructures, in situ spectroscopy on catalytic and photocatalytic surfaces, nanophotonics for environmental sensing, pollution detection, and toxin deactivation.

Traditionally, seniors in Cornell’s Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program receive their commissions together, in a spring ceremony in Barton Hall. This year, the ceremony was canceled for the first time, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Read more

Four Materials Science and Engineering students win national award Read more

Pulling together techniques and insights that span multiple scientific fields and academic departments, researchers from Cornell Engineering and Weill Cornell Medicine are taking an expansive look at cancer that goes beyond tumors and individual cells. Read more

You may have noticed quantum computing cropping up in the news a lot lately. Last October Google announced they’d pulled off quantum supremacy when their prototype quantum computer solved a problem they claimed would take a classical supercomputer 10,000 years to solve. Meanwhile, the National Science Foundation kicked off its Quantum Leap Challenges Institutes program which will fund large-scale projects in quantum science, and the U.S. Department of Energy announced $625 million in funding for centers to advance quantum information science. It’s easy to see why there’s so much interest... Read more

The magnetic, conductive and optical properties of complex oxides make them key to components of next-generation electronics used for data storage, sensing, energy technologies, biomedical devices, and many other applications. Read more

Just when it seemed like robots couldn’t get any cooler, Cornell researchers have created a soft robot muscle that can regulate its temperature through sweating. Read more

Millions of cellphones rely on barium-strontium titanate to adjust, or “tune,” their antennae circuitry and achieve clear reception. A Cornell-led collaboration has created a new material that will bring this clarity and extra bandwidth to the next generation of cellphones and other high-frequency electronics. Read more
