In A&S, Gaby Markle '26 found "an environment where changing directions wasn’t seen as a setback, but as a natural part of intellectual growth," which allowed her to pursue research into the molecular principles that govern biological systems. @CornellChem as.cornell.edu/news/changing…

New paper in collaboration with Dr. Piotr Zelenay! Here we perform X-ray absorption spectroscopy showing that the formed CO during CO2 reduction induces dynamic transformations on Ni single-atoms catalysts resulting in a minor fraction of Ni nanoparticles. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Check out team MOFganic's newest entry, out now in @J_A_C_S! Superstar PhD student Yihuan showed that MOFs allow for dosage delivery of simple fluorinated gases, enabling switchable control over borylated vs iodinated product formation in electroreductive radical reactions.

New Nano Letters article now online! We report a method for performing operando EC-STEM with rigorous electrochemistry by real-time potential calibration via a metal-bridge strategy with an external Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Here is the link! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Why does carbon capture remain essential? In this episode of Research Matters, @CornellCAS chemist Phillip Milner explains a breakthrough carbon-capture system that uses sunlight—rather than fossil-fuel energy—to both capture and release carbon dioxide, potentially transforming how we tackle emissions. The conversation explores why carbon capture remains essential, how the technology works in real-world conditions, and what it could mean for the cost and scalability of climate solutions.
