As the need to find climate change solutions becomes ever more urgent, Cornell chemists are leading the way with innovative and far-reaching discoveries, including better electric batteries, carbon capture technologies, renewable plastics and improvements in solar cells.
Drawing on cutting-edge technology and interdisciplinary expertise, researchers are launching Menopause Health Engineering, a new initiative to uncover how menopause shapes health and disease.
A new $5 million initiative, funded by the Astera Institute with experimental work conducted at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, aims to make diffuse scattering accessible to the public and the broader scientific community.
Claudia Fischbach-Teschl, director of the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, was appointed leader of Engineering Innovations in Medicine, an initiative to transform human health through data-driven innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
By combining the design principles and materials of soft robotics with microscale combustions, researchers created a high-resolution electronic tactile display that can operate in messy, unpredictable environments.
Cornell researchers have uncovered the surprising role played by a “three-tailed” fat molecule in cellular survival during heart attack and stroke: protecting the cells against damage when oxygen runs out.
Researchers devised a new method to image intact bacterial cells and large organelle up to 500-800 nanometers thick – a roughly fivefold improvement over current methods.
