In recognition of his transformative leadership in nanomanufacturing technology, James C. Morgan ’60, MBA ’63, was presented with the Cornell Engineering Distinguished Alumni Award – the college’s highest alumni honor.
Cornell researchers created a machine learning-based model that can forecast, with greater accuracy than current methods, the impact severe wildfire conditions will have on solar electricity generation.
In collaboration with Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit, researchers found that a pilot fleet of seven electric buses consumed up to 48% more energy in cold weather.
Cornell researchers have developed a soft robotic device that gently grips and injects living plant leaves with sensors that help it detect and communicate with its environment. The robot can also inject genetic material into the leaves.
Researchers developed an inexpensive and potentially scalable approach to bind together a pair of popular but incompatible polymers, thereby creating a more useful, high-quality plastic recycling additive.
The Feb. 28 event will provide a forum for scientists, social scientists and humanities scholars to discuss challenges to research support in response to recent major changes to federal funding.
A simulator - with real, hovering spacecraft - would have allowed researchers, companies and government agencies to test crucial space technologies, but a stop-work order from the federal government has halted construction.
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.
