A Cornell-led research team derived the age of Selam, a “moonlet” orbiting the asteroid Dinkinesh in the main asteroid belt, based only on the pair’s dynamics.
Cornell engineers have refined a model that not only cultivates green energy, but concurrently desalinates ocean water for large, drought-stricken coastal populations.
A new paper attempts to quantify how decarbonizing the China Southern Power Grid, which provides electricity to more than 300 million people, will negatively impact river basins and will reduce the amount of cropland in China.
Jack Freed, the Frank and Robert Laughlin Professor of Physical Chemistry Emeritus, has received two grants totaling $7.8 million from the National Institutes of Health to use electron-spin resonance for the benefit of public health.
Through conversations and hands-on learning opportunities, nearly 250 youth from across New York state learned about different career paths at the annual 4-H Career Explorations Conference, hosted by Cornell and New York State 4-H.
Professors Peng Chen, Mariana Wolfner ’74 and Timothy A. Ryan, M.S. ’86, Ph.D. ’89, have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the academy announced on April 24.
Gravitational waves produced from colliding black holes interact with each other, producing nonlinear effects – “what happens when waves on the beach crest and crash.”
A Cornell collaboration developed a model to simulate the atmospheric transport of microplastic fibers and found that their shape plays a crucial role in how far they travel.
A team led by Judy Cha collaborated with the late Lena Kourkoutis to use cryo-electron imaging to study how defects in the microstructure of the nanomaterial tantalum disulfide affects its properties.
