Researchers found that cooperative partnerships seeking to spread the cost burden of water infrastructure projects often end up forcing local partners to bear the brunt of supply and financial risks.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially improve the sensitivity of quantum sensors and be used in other quantum devices.
Cornell AgriTech researchers showcased digital agriculture projects during a “Space for Ag Tour” by NASA leaders to better understand the remote sensing needs of specialty crop growers.
Using a combination of machine learning and powerful X-rays, Cornell researchers have solved a mystery behind the unusual behavior seen in a class of materials with potential for thermoelectric energy conversion and other applications.
Max Zhang, the Irving Porter Church Professor in Cornell Engineering’s Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, has been appointed the provost’s fellow for public engagement.
Since 1986, STEP has been addressing the underrepresentation of marginalized students in science, technology, engineering and math through programs at more than 50 universities across New York.
Through engaging research projects, technical lecture series, and hands-on learning, thirty students from institutions across the United States and Puerto Rico are taking their studies to the next level of research excellence.
A research team led by Cornell mapped atomic vibrations in diamond and linked them with the behavior of the quantum system embedded within, an advance that will make quantum sensors significantly more precise than today’s detection tools.
A team led by Judy Cha collaborated with the late Lena Kourkoutis to use cryo-electron imaging to study how defects in the microstructure of the nanomaterial tantalum disulfide affects its properties.
