Abruña was selected in the “non-traditional energy” category for “foundational contributions spanning electrochemistry, batteries, fuel cells and molecular electronics.”
Cornell researchers have identified a pair of key neurological mechanisms in the brain – a cell type and receptor – that enable the psychedelic compound’s long-lasting effects.
The research upends the long-standing belief is that active volcanoes have large magma bodies that are expelled during eruptions and then dissipate over time.
Cornell Engineering is rapidly becoming a leader in engineering education research, a field dedicated to designing effective education systems and learning experiences for students. The insights emerging from this work have the potential to redefine engineering education on campus and far outside it.
A primary research focus for the new lab is understanding how young people develop a sense of purpose, and how it impacts their everyday experiences and contributes to their long-term development.
Cornell scientists launched aluminum particles, each about 20 micrometers in diameter, onto an aluminum surface at speeds of up to 1,337 meters per second – well beyond the speed of sound – and used high-speed cameras to record the impacts.
Beate Heinemann, professor at Universität Hamburg and director for particle physics at DESY in Germany, will share the stories of two outstanding women scientists in a public lecture.
Judy Cha, Ph.D. ’09, professor of materials science and engineering in Cornell Engineering, and Yuval Grossman, professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, have been elected as fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).
