Cornell engineers have mapped areas off the northeastern U.S. coast to find the best site for a wave-powered aquaculture farm, using marine spacial planning to balance environmental, economic and industry needs.
A tiny eukaryotic organism provided inspiration for modeling “traveling networks” – connected systems that move by rearranging their structure. Understanding these networks may help explain the behavior of certain biological systems and human organizations.
The process of combining agricultural production and solar panels on the same farmland, known as agrivoltaics, has seen a great leap in Cornell research activity.
Don Turcotte, the former Maxwell Upson Professor of Engineering in the Department of Geological Sciences who brought his aeronautic research roots into pioneering collaborations in the study of mantle dynamics and plate tectonics, died Feb. 4 in Davis, California.
Over the last decade, perovskite photovoltaics have emerged as the most exciting alternative to silicon, with Cornell researchers studying how the material can be grown to be more durable for optimal performance, and be recycled.
Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, but Cornell researchers have uncovered a way to control these transformations.
The surface of the Earth’s inner core may be changing, according to a new study from scientists that detected structural changes near the planet’s center.
Most pandemics in the past century were sparked by a pathogen jumping from animals to humans. This moment of zoonotic spillover is the focus of a multidisciplinary team of researchers led by Raina Plowright, the Rudolf J. and Katharine L. Steffen Professor in the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Public and Ecosystem Health.
Cornell researchers have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of how a promising catalyst material transforms during operation, providing new insights that could lead to replacement of expensive precious metals in clean-energy technologies.
Anne Meinig Smalling ’87, a third-generation Cornellian with deep ties to the university, was elected the 18th chair of the Cornell Board of Trustees during a special meeting on Feb. 4. She will begin a three-year term as chair on July 1, succeeding Kraig H. Kayser, MBA ’84.
