Human tracks at White Sands National Park record more than 1.5 kilometers of a journey and form the longest Late Pleistocene-age double human trackway in the world.
Cornell researchers created long chains of a polymer with high molecular weight and high tensile strength, resulting in a recyclable thermoplastic that is strong and flexible enough to be used for large-scale applications such as packaging products.
New research co-authored by Esteban Gazel, associate professor of earth and atmospheric sciences, connects the geochemical fingerprint of the Galápagos plume with mantle materials 900 miles away, underneath Panama and Costa Rica.
A research team from Cornell’s Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences has received a $1.4 million grant from NASA to lead a study of how volcanic ash from past eruptions affected the Earth.
By delving into scientific and economic data, Cornell engineers have examined whether New York could achieve a statewide carbon-neutral economy by 2050. Their finding: Yes – and with five years to spare.
Song Lin, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology, has been selected to receive an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, which supports early-career research.
The Commercialization Fellowship, which wrapped up its fifth cohort in December 2020, helps engineers turn their academic research into businesses that solve real-world problems.
Each year, the Center for Teaching Innovation grants funding through the Innovative Teaching & Learning Awards to help faculty explore new strategies and tools for enhancing student learning.
Sriramya Nairand Kenneth Clark Hover, professors of civil and environmental engineering, comment on efforts to develop alternative to cement, which is responsible for high levels of carbon emissions.
Cornell bioengineers have found a way to efficiently absorb and store large-scale, renewable energy from the sun, while sequestering carbon dioxide to use as a biofuel: Let microbes do the work.
