A U.S. Department of Energy agency has awarded $1 million to Cornell researchers, who are using programmed microbes to mine rare-earth minerals used in consumer electronics and advanced renewable energy.
A new technique that combines electricity and chemistry offers a way for pharmaceuticals to be manufactured in an easily scaled-up and sustainable way.
Invisible footprints hiding since the end of the last ice age – and what lies beneath them – have been discovered by Cornell researchers using a special type of radar in a novel way.
This year, the College of Engineering’s Kessler Fellows Program had to navigate summer internships amid a global pandemic, but the program’s staff was able to place all 13 students in summer programs.
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.
To better predict volcanic activity, Cornell geologists have proposed a new system to discern the stages of a volcano’s unrest – as seen from perceptive satellites.
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.
Astronomers seeking life on distant planets may want to go for the glow. Harsh ultraviolet radiation flares from red suns, once thought to destroy surface life, might help uncover hidden biospheres.
A $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research, led by Nicholas Abbott from the Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, into “microcleaners” for waterways.
Selecting the most effective molecules for drug delivery can be a trial-and-error process, but Cornell engineers have developed a new technique that provides some precision.
