A Cornell collaboration developed a model to simulate the atmospheric transport of microplastic fibers and found that their shape plays a crucial role in how far they travel.
Crevasses play an important role in circulating seawater beneath Antarctic ice shelves, potentially influencing their stability, finds Cornell-led research based on first-of-its-kind exploration by an underwater robot.
For her research developing optimization algorithms, modeling and statistical analysis to address a wide range of environmental problems, Christine Shoemaker, professor emeritus, has received the INFORMS Harold Hotelling Medal for Lifetime Achievement and the SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences Career Prize.
David Muller, professor of applied and engineering physics, has been honored with the 2023 John M. Cowley Medal from the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy and the 2024 Joseph F. Keithley Award for Advances in Measurement Science from the American Physical Society.
Researchers developed a method to efficiently engineer intricate nanostructures through a form of phase separation – a process akin to the way water and oil uncouple in salad dressing.
When wildfires draped smoke over New York this summer, nearly half of its counties lacked data on air quality. Cornell has led an effort to install sensors in places where there were none.
Ph.D. students Leah Lackey and Travis Lloyd are the first students from the National Science Foundation Computer and Information Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowships program to attend Cornell.
The fifth annual Grow-NY Summit will convene food and ag startups and industry players Nov. 14-15 at the Holiday Inn Binghamton Downtown, spotlighting the innovative technologies being developed locally and their impact that spans beyond the region.
Cornell researchers have harnessed the power of baker’s yeast to create a cost-effective and highly efficient approach for unraveling how plants synthesize medicinal compounds, and they have used the new method to identify key enzymes in a kratom tree.
Entrepreneurs will gather to hear fireside chats with top business leaders, enjoy multiple networking and engagement opportunities and hear startup pitches at Entrepreneurship at Cornell’s Eclectic Convergence 2023.
Cornell Engineering held its second annual EPICC Awards ceremony on Oct. 10, celebrating both staff and faculty whose work exemplifies the college’s core values: excellence, purpose, innovation, community, and collaboration.
The Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) is helping four small businesses advance their technology to grow the innovation economy in New York state.
