A new X-ray technique developed by Cornell engineers has revealed the cause of a long-identified flaw in sodium-ion batteries; a discovery that could prove to be a major step toward making sodium-ion as ubiquitous as lithium-ion.
Extreme heat threatens to reverse progress made in combating early child malnutrition as the planet continues to warm, according to Cornell research focused on five West African nations.
A nitrogen doped carbon-coated nickel anode can catalyze an essential reaction in hydrogen fuel cells at a fraction of the cost of the precious metals currently used, Cornell researchers have found.
Cornell chemists have discovered a class of nonprecious metal derivatives that can catalyze fuel cell reactions about as well as platinum at a fraction of the cost, which could bring hydrogen fuel cells in vehicles and generators closer to reality.
A new Cornell study could help inform the development of offshore wind farms by providing detailed models characterizing the frequency, intensity and height of low-level jet streams over the Atlantic coast.
To reduce global atmospheric greenhouse gas, Cornell food systems expert Mario Herrero shows how China must develop more sustainable, international agricultural trade.
Amanda Rodewald, senior director of conservation science with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, comments on the impacts from a new Environmental Protection Agency rule that strips federal Clean Water Act protections for U.S. waters.
Following an announcement from the E.P.A. that it will bolster enforcement and monitoring of air and water quality in disadvantaged communities, Cornell University scientists, Jerel Ezell,Catherine Kling, and John Albertson offered their critiques of the new approach and signaled what the development could mean for the future of air quality monitoring technology.
