Researchers have identified exactly what happens when a microbe receives an electron from a quantum dot: The charge can either follow a direct pathway or be transferred indirectly via the microbe’s shuttle molecules.
Yansong (Harry) Peng, a biomedical engineering Ph.D. candidate, was selected for an International Foundation for Ethical Research Graduate Fellowship for Alternatives to the Use of Animals in Science.
A materials science and engineering student and his professor devised a low-cost, DIY way to increase the lifespan and efficiency of commercial photovoltaic modules: by lowering the panel’s operating temperature with phase-change materials.
More than 200 industry professionals, faculty, students and thought leaders gathered in Cornell’s Upson Hall on March 6 for a day-long forum exploring challenges in renewable energy development.
The commitment, the largest in Cornell Engineering’s history, from David A. Duffield ’62, MBA ’64, will significantly expand the college’s existing Duffield Hall, creating a new state-of-the-art home for the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
As Cornell moves forward with a large-scale expansion of Duffield Hall, the directorship of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Cornell Engineering has been named in honor of the late Ellis L. Phillips Sr., Class of 1895.
