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.
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 Cornell engineering team has received a $100,000 starter grant from NASA to develop a soft, swimming robot suitable for exploring the harsh conditions of other worlds, notably Jupiter's moon Europa.
A cross-campus collaboration led by materials science professor Uli Wiesner results in visual confirmation of 12-sided, nanoscale cage structures, which could have medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
Students from majors such as computer science, biology, business, policy analysis and engineering and high school students came together Feb. 20-21 to participate Cornell's first "Make-a-thon."
A Cornell research group, led by chemistry professor Geoffrey Coates, has developed a multiblock polymer that has the potential to improve the way 78 million tons of plastics are recycled each year.
The study of what earth scientists call the “critical zone” – the area where rock, water soil, organisms and the atmosphere meet – is expanding with a $1.4 million National Science Foundation grant.
Peng Chen, the Peter J.W. Debye Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, is the recipient of the 2014 Coblentz Award, presented annually to an outstanding molecular spectroscopist under the age of 40 by the Coblentz Society.
