Best of both worlds: Team proposes novel energy storage model

Researchers have proposed a way to enhance the conductivity of two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks to power density levels comparable to other porous carbon-based electrodes.

$1M NIH grant helps researchers refine quick cancer test

The National Institutes of Health has awarded Cornell and UCSF researchers a four-year, $1 million grant to hone technology for in-the-field diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma – frequently related to HIV infections.

12 assistant professors win research grants

Twelve Cornell assistant professors have been awarded research grants by the Affinito-Stewart Grants Program from the President’s Council of Cornell Women to increase long-term retention of women.

A miniaturized sensor that can measure chemistry on a chip

Cornell researchers have laid the groundwork for a chemical sensor on a chip that could be used in small portable devices to analyze samples in a lab, monitor air and water quality in the field and perhaps even detect explosives.

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.

Astronomers offer a new bucket list for other worlds

Cash in your frequent flier miles and book a cruise to far-flung, exotic exoplanets. Cornell astronomers Lisa Kaltenegger and others offer two dozen perfectly placed exoplanets with potential for life.

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.
