Determination of bond strengths in non-woven fabrics: A combined experimental and computational approach

Non-wovens usually experience damage under external loading. Hence, a good understanding of damage mechanisms is of great value in designing new non-woven materials.

Congratulations TeraPore Technologies!

TeraPore develops and manufactures filters with unprecedented performance through a proprietary and scalable block copolymer self-assembly technology. When fabricated into membranes, the polymers spontaneously form into highly uniform structures, creating precise holes (or pores) on the nanoscale. The benefits of these membranes include high permeability, allowing very high flow rates, and uniform pore sizes for highly precise nanofiltration.

Quantum dot solids: This generation's silicon wafer?

The multidisciplinary team, led by Tobias Hanrath, associate professor in the Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and graduate student Kevin Whitham, has fashioned two-dimensional superstructures out of single-crystal building blocks. Through directed assembly and attachment processes, the lead selenide quantum dots are synthesized into larger crystals, then fused together to form atomically coherent square superlattices.

Role models for future engineers

The school averages 320 children per year, 66% of whom, in 2014, receive free lunch, and 4% more receive reduced lunch. This large percentage of the school population is less likely to have: family backgrounds in the sciences and engineering, general background information to apply to solving problems in society, early school readiness skills for developing an inquiry focus, exposure to role models and innovators, and other privileged access to exploring the world at large.

“Seriously Sweet!” Ace K binding observed in CA IX

Previous studies have shown the inhibitory properties of sweeteners, such as saccharin, to CA IX. In this study, the binding of the sweetener acesulfame potassium (Ace K) is compared between CA IX and other essential carbonic anhydrases in the body.

CHESS user Ober wins two awards in photopolymer science and technology

The Society cites his outstanding achievements in photopolymer science and technology and the “Development of new advanced photoresist for microelectronics.” Ober is the Francis Bard Professor of Materials Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Cornell University and he and his students and post-doctoral associates have been long-time collaborators and codevelopers of techniques and technology for small-angle x-ray scattering capabilities with CHESS staff scientist Detlef Smilgies.

CHESS-U Magnet Program update

To minimize the shut down (“dark”) time, we are placing all new magnets on girders. Then, when CESR operation is stopped for the upgrade, the girders will be moved to the tunnel and fitted into the storage ring. Each of the twelve girders contains two horizontal focusing quadrupole magnets, one large combined function magnet (bends the beam trajectory and focuses the beam vertically), and four small correcting magnets.

First self-assembled superconductor structure created

Ulrich Wiesner, the Spencer T. Olin Professor of Engineering, led the group, which included researchers in engineering, chemistry and physics.

The group’s findings are detailed in a paper published in Science Advances, Jan. 29.
