On behalf of the Futures Initiative last spring, Patrick Yang was selected as a recipient of the Paul C. Notari Environmental Justice Grant: Futures Initiative, research grant, part of our ongoing commitment to supporting graduate student research across the CUNY Graduate Center.

Congratulations, Patrick!

Mechanistic Investigation of Co(II) Extraction by TODGA to Aid Nuclear Forensic Separations Nuclear forensic (NF) analysis supports law enforcement inquiries by analyzing evidence tainted with radioactive substances. Separation techniques can be used to identify and quantify actinides and...

Ellipsometric Identification of Transition from a Layered Metal-Dielectric Film to a Hyperbolic Metamaterial Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) continue to be intriguing due to their applications in super-resolution imaging and spontaneous emission control. One of the successful realizations of HMMs is a layered metal-dielectric film. Despite the extensive knowledge in thin-film technology and the promises of...

Revealing the Hidden Electrochemical Pathway for Cathode Electrolyte Interface Formation in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries with Carbonate-Based Electrolytes This study investigates the role of microporous carbons and carbonate-based electrolytes in addressing challenges related to polysulfides dissolution and electrolyte compatibility in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. By employing microporous carbons and varying the sulfur content, we investigate ...

Unsupervised Machine Learning Prediction of a Novel 1:3 Intermetallic Phase with the Synthesis of TbIr3 (PuNi3-type) as Experimental Validation Crystal structure classification of binary intermetallic structures with 1:3 stoichiometry was done with machine learning algorithms. The data set included 97 features and a total of 2366 reported compounds adopting six different structure types. An unsupervised learning method based on principal co...

Nuclear quantum effects on glassy water under pressure: Vitrification and pressure-induced transformations We perform classical molecular dynamics (MD) and path-integral MD (PIMD) simulations of H2O and D2O using the q-TIP4P/F model over a wide range of temperatures

Water-responsive materials and uses therefor

US12264207B2 - Water-responsive materials and uses therefor - Google Patents A rotary engine that generates electricity using differences in relative humidity. A water-responsive material expands and contracts as water evaporates which drives the rotation of two wheels. The rotary motion drives an electrical generator which produces electricity. In another embodiment, the wa...

Shades of phototoxicity in fluorescent imaging agents (that are not supposed to be phototoxic)

Shades of phototoxicity in fluorescent imaging agents (that are not supposed to be phototoxic) Strategies for assessing the potential phototoxicity of fluorescent imaging agents are needed. Progress has been made based on a modified neutral red uptake in vitro assay with mean photo-effects. Fl...

Photosensitized Oxidative Damage from a New Perspective: The Influence of Before-Light and After-Light Reaction Conditions

Photosensitized Oxidative Damage from a New Perspective: The Influence of Before-Light and After-Light Reaction Conditions Photooxidative damage is heavily influenced by the presence of bioactive agents. Conversely, bioactive agents influence the local environment, which in turn is perturbed by photooxidative damage. These sorts of processes give rise to a version of the “chicken-and-egg” quandary. In this Perspecti...
