A Cornell chemist has created an alternative to unrecyclable, plastic-based thermosets by making a bio-sourced material that has crosslinked thermosets’ durability and malleability but can be easily recycled and degraded.
Cornell researchers have discovered a pathway by which E. coli regulates zinc levels, an insight that could advance the understanding of metal regulation in bacteria and lead to antibacterial applications such as in medical instruments.
A Cornell-led research team has developed a method for extracting gold from electronics waste, then using the recovered precious metal as a catalyst for converting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to organic materials.
The Brooks Tech Policy Institute has received $3 million from the Department of Defense to establish the U.S. Semiconductor Research Hub, which will assess and improve the resilience of the global network of semiconductor infrastructure.
Provost Kavita Bala and professors Anurag Agrawal and Dr. M. Virginia Pascual have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the academy announced on April 23.
Four Cornell researchers were chosen from a competitive, global application pool to receive Bezos Earth Fund awards to use AI to address climate change and nature loss.
A tiny eukaryotic organism provided inspiration for modeling “traveling networks” – connected systems that move by rearranging their structure. Understanding these networks may help explain the behavior of certain biological systems and human organizations.
Cornell researchers have discovered a way for ammonia oxidizing archaea, one of the most abundant types of microorganisms on Earth, to produce nitrous oxide, a potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas.
