The Active Learning Initiative has announced its Phase IV grants. The winning proposals, from Classics, Government, History, the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, included collaborations that extend across Cornell.
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.
The challenges of 3D printing in space may be overcome thanks to modeling software that was created at Cornell and successfully tested aboard the international space station on Jan. 1.
Researchers have discovered how to “turn off” a key driver of aortic stenosis – the narrowing of the heart’s aortic valve – identifying for the first time the biological process behind certain instances of the disease.
