Spontaneous supercrystal discovered in switching metal-insulator

A supercrystal formation previously unobserved in a metal-insulating material was discovered by a Cornell-led research team, potentially unlocking new ways to engineer materials and devices with tunable electronic properties.

Scientists resolves a long-debated anomaly in how nuclei spin

Atomic nuclei come in different shapes, varying from football-like ("prolate") to pancake-like ("oblate"). Prolate and oblate shapes have different moments of inertia. This is a body's resistance to having its speed of rotation ...

Chemists develop a stable reagent for carbon-atom transfer

Professor Max Martin Hansmann from the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and his team have developed a new reagent for selectively adding carbon atoms to molecules. This promising development for basic research ...

3D visualization brings nuclear fusion to life

When it comes to promising forms of energy, nuclear fusion checks all the boxes: it's clean, abundant, continuous and safe. It's produced when the lightweight nuclei of two atoms fuse together to form a heavier nucleus, releasing ...
