Thomas Wyatt Turner, Ph.D. 1921, was the first Black person at Cornell to earn a doctorate and the first Black person in the nation to earn a doctorate in botany. He was also a pioneer in the civil rights movement.
Cornell chemists have discovered a class of nonprecious metal derivatives that can catalyze fuel cell reactions about as well as platinum at a fraction of the cost, which could bring hydrogen fuel cells in vehicles and generators closer to reality.
A new Cornell study could help inform the development of offshore wind farms by providing detailed models characterizing the frequency, intensity and height of low-level jet streams over the Atlantic coast.
In the arid world of processing flour and food powders, where using water to sanitize is impossible, Cornell researchers are studying dry, superheated steam.
The challenges of 3D printing in space may be overcome thanks to modeling software that was created at Cornell and successfully tested aboard the international space station on Jan. 1.
A recent study published in PLOS ONE found that career development offices benefit from collaborations and network development with industry employers, empowering doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.
Cornell researchers have for the first time imaged the entire depth of the lymph nodes in a living mouse using three-photon microscopy, which enabled them to observe the dynamic interactions of immune cells.
Forget incineration or landfills. To resolve the increasing, never-ending waste stream of medical PPE as a result of the pandemic, Cornell engineers suggest recycling via pyrolysis.
Cornell researchers have found a way to train physical systems, ranging from computer speakers and lasers to simple electronic circuits, to perform machine-learning computations, such as identifying handwritten numbers and spoken vowel sounds.
