Cornell geochemists and synthetic biologists have collaborated to improve the efficiency of microbes that can dissolve rocks to extract critical minerals while speeding carbon sequestration from air.
The software company is contributing $2 million each to Cornell’s College of Architecture, Art and Planning and Cornell Engineering to name and update “design and make” spaces.
Cornell researchers created a machine learning-based model that can forecast, with greater accuracy than current methods, the impact severe wildfire conditions will have on solar electricity generation.
Researchers developed an inexpensive and potentially scalable approach to bind together a pair of popular but incompatible polymers, thereby creating a more useful, high-quality plastic recycling additive.
A simulator - with real, hovering spacecraft - would have allowed researchers, companies and government agencies to test crucial space technologies, but a stop-work order from the federal government has halted construction.
Cornell researchers are helping upgrade the CMS detector at CERN, as LHC collaborations win the 2024 Breakthrough Prize for fundamental physics discoveries.
The Southern Ocean – between Antarctica and other continents – will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in precipitation over East Asia and the Western U.S.
Gallox Semiconductors, a startup with Cornell Roots, won the 2025 Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge in the Advanced Computing & Electronics category. A member of the Praxis Center for Venture Development, Gallox is one of several semiconductor startups launched at Cornell.
Cornell researchers are working to understand how robots can assist humans in dangerous and physically challenging environments, but the project, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, has been halted by a stop-work order.
In recognition of his transformative leadership in nanomanufacturing technology, James C. Morgan ’60, MBA ’63, was presented with the Cornell Engineering Distinguished Alumni Award – the college’s highest alumni honor.
