Rev Demo Day offers showcase for budding entrepreneurs

Rev: Ithaca Startup Works' second annual Hardware Accelerator Demo Day gave eight teams a chance to show off their product ideas and work on their sales pitches after a 12-week-long workshop.

Vortex rings may aid cell delivery, cell-free protein production

Cornell researchers have devised a method for producing toroid-shaped particles through a process called vortex ring freezing. The particles are mass produceable through inexpensive electrospraying.

Brito went to Fiji to study mobile genes in human microbiome

Research involving a new Cornell professor proposes that human behavior helps provide selective pressures that shape mobile gene pools, which are important for colonizing specific human populations.

Scientists propose novel carbon-capture electrochemical cell

Engineering professor Lynden Archer and graduate student Wajdi Al Sadat have devised an electrochemical cell that captures and converts carbon dioxide while generating electrical power.

Students' app helps dementia patients find memories

A smartphone app created by Cornell graduate students flashes reminders to aid failing memories of dementia sufferers.

Biological wizardry ferments carbon monoxide into biofuel

Cornell biological engineers have deciphered the cellular strategy to make the biofuel ethanol, using an anaerobic microbe feeding on carbon monoxide – a common industrial waste gas.

Cornell tests earthquake-resilient pipeline for L.A.

A top engineer from the city of Los Angeles visited Cornell July 20-22 as researchers tested a new earthquake-resilient pipeline designed to better protect southern California's water utility.

Team devises new way for stabilizing battery recharge

Immobilizing negatively charged ions in the polymer-like separators of rechargeable lithium batteries is shown to result in stable electrodeposition, even at relatively high current densities.

Recellularized human colon model could aid in cancer research

Cornell researchers have helped develop a recellularized human colon model that could be used to track the pathogenesis of colon cancer and possibly gain insight into its spread to other organs.
