Immobilizing negatively charged ions in the polymer-like separators of rechargeable lithium batteries is shown to result in stable electrodeposition, even at relatively high current densities.
Cornell Tech and the College of Engineering have announced a new Master of Engineering degree in Operations Research and Information Engineering based at the tech campus in New York City.
Undergraduates from across the country are spending several weeks at Cornell this summer researching topics in accelerator physics or X-ray science thanks to two programs funded by the National Science Foundation.
Ruth Richardson, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, this summer is testing a water-monitoring system that could cut the time state swim areas are closed from 30 hours to 90 minutes.
The Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future chose 10 interdisciplinary projects to receive academic venture funds for spring 2011. The awards were announced May 29 and total $662,509. (June 1, 2011)
A nearly $200,000 National Science Foundation grant will fund continued Cornell research on theory-based calculations of how certain materials conduct heat. (May 31, 2011)
Researchers have calculated the value of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and muon to the most precise degree known to physics. (Sept. 10, 2012)
A Cornell water sensor technology that began as basic research is blooming into a business that fills a vital need for grape, nut, apple and other growers.
At the Sept. 10 Faculty Senate meeting, the Climate Neutrality Acceleration Working Group presented its proposal to change the university’s climate neutrality target date to 2035 from 2050.
Researchers have found that irradiation of material creates nanometer-sized defects that trap swirling eddies in the flow of electrons, keeping them out of the way so more current can flow through superconductors.
