An interdisciplinary team of Cornell researchers has taken its breakthrough discovery – which melded the ability of soft organic materials to spontaneously self-organize with quantum materials to create superconductors with novel porous architectures – and upped the ante by designing a new cohort of these “quantum metamaterials” that can achieve superconductivity at temperatures competitive with state-of-the-art solid-state materials synthesis.
In the process, they’ve demonstrated the intrinsic superconducting properties are a function of the architecture itself. Provided
These scanning electron microscopy images show the four different superconductor quantum material structures that were directed by the spontaneous self-organization of soft organic block copolymers, along with color schematics of the four structures.

3D-printed gas diffusion layer for an electrochemical reactor, printed at the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility using two-photon polymerization. Study highlights promise of 3D printing for electrochemical reactors
April 30, 2021
Electrochemical reactors that can capture carbon dioxide and transform it into valuable products are a relatively new and promising technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. While many challenges exist to scaling up the technology, a new study highlights the benefits of using 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, to significantly improve cost, yield and efficiency.
In electrochemical reactors like those that were studied, gaseous carbon dioxide travels through a porous gas diffusion layer for distribution to the catalyst, where it dissolves into a liquid electrolyte and converts to various products like fuels, lubricants and polymers. Using additive manufacturing to rapidly prototype
The Air Force Research Laboratory, in partnership with the Materials Solutions Network at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source of Cornell University, has developed a tool that can look directly inside of and instantaneously inspect the structure of,
