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.
An international collaboration that includes Cornell researchers achieved a new level of precision in measuring the magnetic anomaly of the muon – a tiny, elusive particle that could have very big implications for understanding the subatomic world.
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.
Engaging with a whole set of mentors will allow the CIDER postdocs to approach questions about student learning and experiences across disciplinary boundaries and use techniques from multiple fields.
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.
The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope will be loaded onto a transatlantic shipping vessel in Antwerp, Belgium, at the end of January for a month-long voyage by sea to its home in Chile. It will become the second-highest telescope in the world.
The shipping industry dramatically cut sulfur emissions, resulting in diminished cloud cover over the oceans. This caused a global temperature spike in 2023.
