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.
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.
A group of Cornell staff, alumni, students and volunteers have worked to retrofit windows on a few buildings so birds can recognize and avoid flying into them, with plans to address the issue on more around the Ithaca campus.
A Cornell program is playing a key role in a project to make rice more resilient to climate change and increase production in West Africa, thanks to a four-year, $14 million grant from the Adaptation Fund.
The rust-resistant wheat cultivar development team at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) earned the Borlaug Global Rust Initiative (BGRI) 2021 Gene Stewardship Award for their long-standing innovations and strategies to…
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.
Flavio Lehner, a climate scientist and assistant professor of earth and atmospheric science at Cornell University, comments on the the upcoming launch of the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite that will measure Earth's sea level rise.
Art, sculpture, photos, and prints bring research on climate adaptation and resiliency to life at Cornell Botanic Gardens' Nevin Welcome Center. The exhibits illustrate the value and impact of a collaborative project with faculty and indigenous farmers, fishers, herders, hunters, and orchardists across the globe.
A new study co-led by a Cornell researcher has identified serpentinite – a green rock that looks a bit like snakeskin and holds fluids in its mineral structures – as a key driver of the oxygen recycling process.
