Using a computational approach, material scientists at Cornell have found more than 20 new self-assembled crystal structures, which could serve as nanoparticle or colloid design targets for other researchers. Read more
The Cornell University Board of Trustees have elected Lara A. Estroff to be the Herbert Fisk Johnson Professor of Industrial Chemistry, effective April 1, 2023. Endowed chairs are the highest faculty honor at Cornell. Estroff has served as the chair of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering since 2020. Prior to joining the department in 2005, she received her undergraduate degree from Swarthmore College, earned her Ph.D. from Yale University, and was an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellow in Prof. George M. Whiteside's laboratory at Harvard University. At Cornell, Estroff served as the... Read more
The Cornell University Board of Trustees have elected Darrell G. Schlom to be the Tisch University Professor, effective April 1, 2023. Endowed chairs are the highest faculty honor at Cornell. Schlom received his B.S. degree from the California Institute of Technology, and completed an M.S. in electrical engineering and a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering at Stanford University. He did postdoctoral work at IBM's research lab in Zurich, Switzerland in the oxide superconductors and novel materials group managed by Nobel Prize winners J. Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller. He served on the... Read more
