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.
By examining Jupiter’s moon Io – the most volcanically active place in the solar system – Cornell astronomers can study a vital process in planetary formation and evolution: tidal heating.
With funding from the National Science Foundation, Cornell and a group of institutional partners have created the Upstate New York Energy Storage Engine to advance energy storage technology and boost large-capacity battery manufacturing in the region.
A smart sensor that attaches to the tip of a syringe can measure, in real time, the concentration and viability of the cells that pass through it – a potential breakthrough for biomedical 3D printing and cell therapy.
Climate Week NYC will get a Big Red tint as Cornell researchers suggest carbon solutions for the travel industry, discuss agricultural methane and participate in a nuclear energy conference.
