Over the last decade, perovskite photovoltaics have emerged as the most exciting alternative to silicon, with Cornell researchers studying how the material can be grown to be more durable for optimal performance, and be recycled.
Through engaging research projects, technical lecture series, and hands-on learning, thirty students from institutions across the United States and Puerto Rico are taking their studies to the next level of research excellence.
The Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR), in partnership with NYSTAR, is providing technical assistance and funding to help three NYS startups advance their technology.
Enabled by a custom thermometer, Cornell researchers have observed superfluid fluctuation effects, possibly gaining new insight for quantum computing and the physics of the early universe.
Anna Y. Q. Ho and others chosen will pursue science investigations that will contribute to Israel’s first space telescope mission, planned to launch into geostationary orbit around Earth in 2026.
An endowed professorship, made possible with a gift from George Stephen Irwin ’67, M.Eng. ’68, is dedicated to engineering education research. Allison Godwin, associate professor in the Smith School, will be the first to hold the professorship.
Cornell research provides a simple and comprehensive – if less dramatic – explanation for bright radar reflections initially interpreted as liquid water beneath the ice cap on Mars’ south pole.
The Engineers in Action project team has built footbridges connecting thousands in Eswatini to schools, health care and markets - now the group is expanding their impact with two new projects.
The process of combining agricultural production and solar panels on the same farmland, known as agrivoltaics, has seen a great leap in Cornell research activity.
