Researchers have uncovered perplexing states in a nanomaterial as it changes its atomic structure, a discovery that could advance materials with tailored properties for renewable energy and quantum computing.
Liquefied natural gas leaves a carbon footprint that is 33% worse than coal, when processing and shipping are taken into account, according to a new Cornell study.
By fusing together a pair of contorted molecular structures, researchers created a porous crystal that can uptake lithium-ion electrolytes and transport them smoothly via one-dimensional nanochannels.
A Cornell-led collaboration has developed the first dual-sided – or “dualtronic” – semiconductor that combines photonic and electronic functions simultaneously.
John A. Nation, professor emeritus of electrical and computer engineering, whose research on high-power microwave generation helped drive Cornell’s role in advancing plasma studies and fusion energy, died on Sept. 3 in Rye, New Hampshire. He was 89.
Beate Heinemann, professor at Universität Hamburg and director for particle physics at DESY in Germany, will share the stories of two outstanding women scientists in a public lecture.
