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.
The program from the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research provides student teachers an understanding on the neuroscience behind children’s learning and development and encourages them to pass that knowledge to their students.
The solar boom in New York state is not only powering homes, businesses and infrastructure; it is also generating jobs. Researchers at the ILR School’s Climate Jobs Institute are helping to ensure the solar workforce is treated fairly and equitably.
The process of combining agricultural production and solar panels on the same farmland, known as agrivoltaics, has seen a great leap in Cornell research activity.
Knowing the duration and timing of when migratingmallard ducks – natural carriers of avian influenza – stop and rest can help predict the probability that they will infect backyard poultry flocks.
An interdisciplinary team of Cornell researchers is developing HelioSkin, an aesthetically appealing solar-collection fabric that is inspired by the biological mechanisms that enable plants to bend toward the sun.
