Cornell-led scientists aim to resolve a wasting disease afflicting seagrass – the ocean’s critical first line of coastal filters – with a $2.5 million National Science Foundation grant.
Cornell is partnering in a $36 million grant from the Toyota Research Institute for its Accelerated Materials Design and Discovery collaborative university research program, which seeks to use artificial intelligence to discover new materials that could help achieve emissions-free driving.
Solving problems like climate change could require dismantling rigid academic boundaries, so that researchers of various backgrounds may collaborate through an “undisciplinary” approach.
Justin Wilson has received a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop more efficient methods of separating rare earth elements, which are found in wind turbines, liquid crystal displays, batteries, and portable electronics.
After stifling temperatures parked over the Pacific Northwest in late June, scientists – including Cornell’s Flavio Lehner – said climate change triggered it.
Flavio Lehner won a three-year, $500,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to improve climate models on which future U.S. water projections are based.
Four next-generation scholars have been chosen as Cornell Atkinson Postdoctoral Fellows, forwarding projects focused on food security, energy transitions, One Health and climate change.
John Tobin, an expert on environmental and energy economics, comments on the impact coronavirus is having on the renewable energy industry, and what the industry's long-term outlook looks like.
David Bateman says that the conflict between California and the Trump administration over auto emissions will expose potentially counter-intuitive positions on states’ rights among political actors.
The robot’s layered filtration system will gather tiny bits of plastic the size of a sesame seed and smaller, which contaminate ecosystems and damage human and animal health.
