Cornell researchers have found a way to build a zinc-anode battery that not only has a high energy density, but is low cost and stable, and has a life cycle that can be significantly prolonged.
Cornell researchers developed a new form of electron microscopy that uses complex algorithms to achieve faster, more efficient imaging – and they obtained the best results by defocusing their detector and blurring the beam.
Cornell is moving forward, and underground, with plans to drill an observatory borehole to explore the viability – and ensure the safety – of using geothermal energy to heat the Ithaca campus.
Demonstrating a new type of space technology, 105 of the world’s smallest free-flying satellites have just completed orbiting Earth, sending short signals received by a ground station at Cornell.
At the Cornell Business Impact Symposium, keynote speaker Ashish Gadnis described a pathway to positive social impact that could help people around the world rise from poverty, reduce gender inequality, vanquish black markets and bring light to shadow economies.
Twelve Cornell assistant professors from a range of disciplines have recently received five-year National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Awards.
A Cornell startup is working with the Performance Apparel Design Lab to take its wearable sensor technology, which can track the movement of athletes, and use it to monitor pilots undergoing high-gravitational-force training.
While solar farms help summer electricity demand, Cornell engineers caution that upstate winters could prompt “ramping” – bursts of sudden increases or decreases in electricity demand.
Applications of digital technology from academic disciplines across campus will be exhibited April 19 at the annual BOOM (Bits on Our Minds) exhibition.
The Office of the Provost has announced five winners of the inaugural Provost Research Excellence Awards, which recognize leadership and innovation in scholarly research.
