Engineering professor Lara Estroff and plant science professor Klaas van Wijk have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest general scientific society.
Cornell researchers have developed a non-precious-metal catalyst that represents a major step toward alkaline fuel cells that use inexpensive commodity metals, such as nickel and cobalt, in several energy applications.
Researchers have developed a bio-inspired approach to mixing heat and molecules in fluids – findings that could inform future biomedical devices, heat exchangers and soft robotics.
A new Cornell-led project will create a global record that shows how river systems around the world have changed under human influence over the last 75 years.
