Susan Daniel and Gary Whittaker discuss their collaborations and others across Cornell’s campuses that are working to better understand the COVID-19 virus.
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)
AguaClara has opened its 14th water processing plant in Honduras, and has expanded its reach into that country's smallest villages with development of a new, compact system.
Cornell researchers have devised a method for producing toroid-shaped particles through a process called vortex ring freezing. The particles are mass produceable through inexpensive electrospraying.
Using an airplane to detect greenhouse emissions emanating from freshly drilled shale gas wells in Pennsylvania’s Marcellus basin, Cornell and Purdue scientists have found that leaked methane is more of a problem than previously thought.
The Southern Tier Regional Economic Development Council has won $500 million over the next five years in New York's Upstate Revitalization Initiative. Cornell will be involved in about $100 million worth of key projects funded by the grant.
Cornell physicists in the lab of Mukund Vengalattore have developed a novel method of manipulating mechanical resonators to be sensitive enough to work at the quantum scale.
Physicists from Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania join forces to forge a link between smectic liquid crystals and martensite steel, both of which have an unusual, elegant microstructure.
