Light-twisting materials created from nano semiconductors
A new technique transforms symmetrical semiconductor particles, producing films with extraordinary light-bending properties.
Nanocrystals with Metastable High-Pressure Phases Under Ambient Conditions
This groundbreaking work was supported by a collaboration between the PI an collaborators and CHEXS scientist Zhongwu Wang, spanning many years, across the former CHESS “B-line” beamline and the new CHEXS HPBio facilities. This work was enabled by custom diamond anvil cells with large opening angles for simultaneous SAXS / WAXS measurements, and by in-situ spectroscopy techniques deployed at CHESS
Congratulations TeraPore Technologies!
TeraPore Technologies, the developer of advanced nanofiltration membrane systems for bioprocess and other applications, announced that it has completed a $6M Series A financing round.
Determination of bond strengths in non-woven fabrics: A combined experimental and computational approach
Non-woven materials have fiber network structures and present some good physical properties, like high porosity, high mechanical strength and high toughness.
New technique simplifies creation of nanoparticle 'magic-sized clusters'
One of the cool things about nanoparticles is also what makes them so difficult to work with: the fact that their properties are dependent on their size.
X-ray detector for studying characteristics of materials
Modern synchrotron x-ray sources, such as the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron (CHESS), produce x-ray beams with unprecedented capabilities.
Pressure-induced fabrication of Janus nanoparticles and helically decorating nanorods
Using pressure rather than chemicals, a joint research team of Brown and Cornell Universities combined their strengths and reshaped nanoparticles into highly monodispersive Janus nanoparticles and helically decorating nanorods.
CHESS's own Howie Joress wins Jerome B. Cohen award
