Researchers developed a low-cost method to produce carbon-free “green” hydrogen via solar-powered electrolysis of seawater, with a helpful byproduct: potable water.
While the particle accelerator buried beneath Cornell’s soccer field typically hums along 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the spring down period offers a rare and essential pause in operations.
An international collaboration that includes Cornell researchers achieved a new level of precision in measuring the magnetic anomaly of the muon – a tiny, elusive particle that could have very big implications for understanding the subatomic world.
“We are going to run the largest simulations of the magnetized gas that pervades the space between stars, with the aim of understanding a crucial missing piece in our models for how stars and galaxies form."
Greeshma Gadikota, director of the Sustainable Energy and Resource Recovery Group at Cornell University’s College of Engineering, comments on the discovery of lithium reserves in Arkansas and the role of emergent tech in sustainably extracting the element.
Students can win up to $1,500 for projects that combine art and technology in the inaugural Art + Tech exhibit hosted by The Milstein Program in Technology and Humanity.
Chemistry researchers have found ways to reduce the environmental impact of high-density polyethylene by developing a model that enables manufacturers to customize and improve those materials.
Sixty-three graduate students completed international fieldwork last summer with the support of research travel grants from the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies. Applications are open until March 7 for graduate students seeking support for summer 2025.
Graduate students at Cornell University are gaining confidence in science communication and bringing hands-on learning into K-12 classrooms across New York State.
Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, but Cornell researchers have uncovered a way to control these transformations.
