Researchers developed an inexpensive and potentially scalable approach to bind together a pair of popular but incompatible polymers, thereby creating a more useful, high-quality plastic recycling additive.
Cornell researchers are demonstrating how artificial intelligence – particularly deep learning and generative modeling – can accelerate the design of new molecules and materials, and even function as an autonomous research assistant.
A simulator - with real, hovering spacecraft - would have allowed researchers, companies and government agencies to test crucial space technologies, but a stop-work order from the federal government has halted construction.
Brad Ramshaw, associate professor of physics, has been named to the 2025 class of Brown Investigators. Each investigator, recognized for curiosity-driven research in chemistry or physics, will receive up to $2 million over five years.
The Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways say Ponterio’s support “has been invaluable."
Héctor Abruña, the Émile M. Chamot Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, is honored for his pivotal contributions to understanding electrochemical processes.
Cornell researchers are working to understand how robots can assist humans in dangerous and physically challenging environments, but the project, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, has been halted by a stop-work order.
Among those being recognized for exceptional teaching and mentorship this year are faculty members Begüm Adalet, Claudia Verhoeven, and Marcelo Aguiar.
Using advanced technology that analyzes tiny gas bubbles trapped in crystal, a team of scientists led by Cornell has precisely mapped how magma storage evolves as Hawaiian volcanoes age.
Cornell chemists have developed a user-friendly, scalable process for methacrylate that’s precisely controlled and mediated by carbon dioxide.
By finding the atomic equivalent of a perfect handshake between two types of perovskite, researchers at Cornell have built solar cells that are not only high-performing, but exceptionally durable.
Nominations are solicited annually from all members of the academic community, the awards bestowed in recognition of the importance of undergraduate advising.
Cornell researchers created a machine learning-based model that can forecast, with greater accuracy than current methods, the impact severe wildfire conditions will have on solar electricity generation.
