A Cornell collaboration has found a way to grow a single crystalline layer of alpha-aluminum gallium oxide that has the widest energy bandgap to date – a discovery that clears the way for new semiconductors that will handle higher voltages, higher power densities and higher frequencies than previously seen.
As methane concentrations increase in the Earth’s atmosphere, chemical fingerprints point to a probable source: shale oil and gas, according to new Cornell research published in Biogeosciences.
Consumers were more willing to buy unlabeled produce after being shown food tagged as “genetically modified” in a new Cornell study that comes two months before a new federal food-labeling law goes into effect.
Two filmmakers discussed their movie about the first solar-powered flight, which has implications for integration of solar power into new systems and industries.
The grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s Just Futures Initiative will bring together scholars from across the university and beyond to study the links between racism, dispossession and migration.
Ecologists Aaron Rice and Amanda Rodewald are working with Migrations: A Global Grand Challenge, part of Global Cornell, to understand how human impacts and activities affect animals and the ecosystems we all share.
Amanda Rodewald, a professor of ornithology and director of conservation science at Cornell University, says the tundra swan, Pacific loon and northern pintail would be just a few of the more than 200 bird species at the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that would be impacted by activities associated with oil development.
Cornell food scientists are designing the milk carton of the future that will give consumers precise “best by” dates and improve sustainability by reducing food waste.
Come play and learn with the Water Ninja Prowlers, Fishstick Bricks, and Smelly Plumbers at the Twelfth Annual FIRST LEGO League Junior Expo – hosted by the Cornell University NanoScale Facility – on Saturday, Jan. 27, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. in the Duffield Hall Atrium on the Cornell campus.
A week before Cornell's campus shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, members of an engineering student group converted a university-owned diesel tractor into a clean, green farming machine.
