Materials researchers have devised a so-called hierarchical porous polymer film synthesis method that may help make these materials useful for applications ranging from catalysis to bioengineering.
To obtain data about shifts in avian migratory patterns, birds are being fitted with sensor-filled backpacks. A Cornell lab is developing the ultra-lightweight energy source to power those sensors using the vibrations from the birds' motion.
Researchers have new insight into automated stochastic inference that could help unravel hidden laws in fields as diverse as molecular biology and chemistry.
Researchers have moved a step closer to making graphene a useful, controllable material: They have shown that when grown in stacked layers, graphene produces defects that influence its conductivity.
A team led by Tanzeem Choudhury, assistant professor of computing and information science, has won the $100,000 first prize in the Heritage Open mHealth Challenge with a mobile app designed to assist patients with bipolar disorder.
CUAir, a group of high-flying Cornell engineering students, soared into first place at the Student Unmanned Air Systems Competition held at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, June 19-22.
Two Cornell student teams – a cookstove fuel/biochar group and the AguaClara water filtration project – won the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s prestigious People, Prosperity and the Planet Award June 19.
