Best of both worlds: Team proposes novel energy storage model
A Cornell-led research team has developed a way of combining the large energy-storage capacity of batteries with the superior charge-discharge rate of supercapacitors to come up with a powerful new electrical energy storage (EES) device.
Secrets of membrane formation revealed
The SNIPS process (Self-assembly plus Non-solvent-Induced Phase Separation) is a newly developed method to create asymmetric membranes with well-defined pore sizes in the top separation layer, for instance for ultrafiltration of proteins or viruses.
Workshop #4 recap: Materials Design and Processing from Nano to Mesoscale
In last month’s eNewsletter, CHESS Director Joel Brock gave an overview of the CHESS-U project and how important the six summer science workshops were to help define the science frontiers an upgraded CHESS will serve.

Summer research undergraduates bring science to the community
Students from all over the US are here at CHESS doing summer research as part of four programs—SRCCS, REU, LSamp, and SunRISE.
New insights on the active surface structure of the photo-catalyst SrTiO3
Since the initial reports of the photo-assisted water splitting on n-SrTiO3 (STO) in the 1970’s, STO has become a great model system for the photocatalysis study.
Students Make invention initiative in Ithaca
During the early months of 2013, Xraise approached the educational team at the Sciencenter in Ithaca about the possibility of hosting a new project where guests would have the opportunity to tinker with materials.
