A Cornell-led collaboration received a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to use machine learning to accelerate the creation of low-cost materials for solar energy.
The College of Engineering will grow the number of students it invites to its CATALYST Academy – a program aimed at inspiring minority students to study engineering – thanks to a $2 million gift from Peter Wright ’75, MBA ’76.
Cornell has been awarded an $8.9 million cooperative agreement from the Air Force Research Laboratory for a regional research hub to spark collaborations in academia, government and industry.
Using a microscope he developed, physicist Séamus Davis and his team have found an exotic state of quantum matter, originally thought to just exist in cuprates, in a more conventional type of material, which could lead to more discovery.
Engineering professor Max Zhang has been awarded a NYSERDA grant to determine efficient solar farm array configurations so the state can avoid land-use conflicts or spoiling precious agricultural space.
In partnership with New York community groups, Cornell researchers are developing a hyperlocal weather forecasting system designed to help emergency response.
Éva Tardos, the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Computer Science, has been elected to the American Philosophical Society, the oldest learned society in the United States.
Francesco Sgarlata, a Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow in physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, is using his three-year fellowship to address the inconsistency of two pillar theories – general relativity and quantum mechanics.
