A five-year, $20 million National Science Foundation grant will allow chemists from Cornell and other institutions to study new ways to make plastics more sustainable.
Here's the scientific dirt: Soil can help reduce global warming. While farm soil grows the world's food and fiber, scientists are examining ways to use it to sequester carbon and to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
Cornell data scientists are developing models and mathematical techniques to address the world’s most vexing problems, from public health crises to climate change.
Cornell will host "Sustainability in Asia: Partnerships for Research and Implementation," a conference about sustainability research and community engagement in Hong Kong, April 6-7.
Cornell’s latest Naturalist Outreach film, "Pollination: Trading Fertilization for Food," made its national debut at the 2015 Animal Behavior Society Film Festival on June 12 in Anchorage, Alaska.
The U.S. public doubts the existence of "global warming" more than it doubts "climate change" – and Republicans are driving the effect, according to new research. But there's more agreement on climate science than meets the eye.
A Cornell-led group has demonstrated the ability to produce deep-ultraviolet emission using an LED light source, potentially solving several problems related to quantum efficiency of current devices.
A group of Cornell researchers has shown the ability to functionalize cotton fabric with a porous beta-cyclodextrin polymer, which can sequester organic micropollutants in both water and air.
The dramatic increase in earthquakes in central Oklahoma since 2009 is likely attributable to subsurface wastewater injection at a handful of wastewater disposal wells, finds a study published in the journal Science July 3.
