Materials scientists at Cornell have developed a method for better understanding the complex electrochemical reactions that occur at the interface of water and metal surfaces – an approach that will ultimately lead to better fuel cells and other electrochemical technologies.
The Scialog initiative aims to catalyze advances in basic science that will enable technologies for removal of C02 and other greenhouse gases to become more efficient, affordable and scalable.
Biomedical and biological sciences alumna Yun Ha Hur, Ph.D. ’21, was selected as a finalist for the SUNY Chancellor Ph.D. Graduate Dissertation Awards, which recognizes outstanding doctoral candidates in the SUNY system.
The anticipated renovation of The Foundry is underway with changes meant to create an expanded new Jack Squier Sculpture Studio and comfortable, accessible, state-of-the-art spaces for M.F.A. students.
The project, dubbed AUGER (Accelerating Use of Geologically-driven Engineering & Reclamation), was awarded $739K of funding from NSF’s Convergence Accelerator to support translational research combining x-ray and hyperspectral imaging capabilities at CHESS with remote sensing techniques to link macroscale data with microscale mineral properties to create predictive mining insights.
From new approaches for tendon injury treatment to biomass-based construction materials, Cornell Engineering’s inaugural Sprout Awards are funding unique research projects with the potential to grow partnerships across Cornell.
A new study by a group of universities including Cornell has for the first time revealed the global extent of a layer of melted rock encircling the Earth below its tectonic plates.
