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
Andrej Singer, assistant professor of Materials Science and Engineering, was recently honored with a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program award. The award supports early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Research and activities pursued by early-career faculty build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. Over the next five years, Singer will receive over $700,000 to support his... Read more

Steve was born on March 11, 1940 in Bronx, NY. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the City College of New York in 1961 and then carried out graduate studies in the Department of Materials Science at Northwestern University, earning his Ph.D. in 1966. He spent the following year as a postdoctoral researcher at Technische Hogeschool, in Delft, The Netherlands as a Fulbright Scholar. In 1967, he joined Cornell University as an Assistant Professor, advancing to full Professor in 1979. He was elevated to Emeritus status in 2008. Professor Sass was a leader in using... Read more

"Indoors or out, Nicole Chu, M.Eng. ’19, loathes breathing in carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and other volatile organic compounds. They’re bad for everyone’s health. Since last August, Chu has been fabricating the foundation of a wearable, personalized air quality monitoring device, by using nanotechnology, photolithography and other tools at the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility ( CNF)."
