Engineered Living Materials

Picture this possible future: Instead of plastic bottles from oil or concrete made from sand, what if everyday things were grown from living organisms? That’s the incredible promise of engineered living materials. Learn about how we could replace the unsustainable items we rely on and turn instead to the amazing abilities of nature. Courtesy of […]

Spontaneous supercrystal discovered in switching metal-insulator

A Cornell-led research team has discovered a previously unobserved supercrystal formation in a metal-insulating material, potentially unlocking new ways to engineer materials and devices with tunable electronic properties. They demonstrated that the atomic structure in the thin-film Mott insulator Ca2RuO4, which can switch between being a metal and an insulator due to quantum effects, forms […]

New 3D reconstruction method aids analysis of property-defining defects

An international research collaboration, including a group from Cornell Engineering, has used a new X-ray-based reconstruction technique to observe topological defects in a nanoscale self-assembly-based cubic network structure of a polymer-metal composite material over a large sample volume for the first time. This technique and the new insights gained could be applied to studying other […]
