The project aligns with Cornell Atkinson's core mission of supporting research that drives meaningful impact across public opinion, policy, and corporate practices.
Researchers developed a low-cost method to produce carbon-free “green” hydrogen via solar-powered electrolysis of seawater, with a helpful byproduct: potable water.
In recognition of his transformative leadership in nanomanufacturing technology, James C. Morgan ’60, MBA ’63, was presented with the Cornell Engineering Distinguished Alumni Award – the college’s highest alumni honor.
Cornell researchers have identified a pair of key neurological mechanisms in the brain – a cell type and receptor – that enable the psychedelic compound’s long-lasting effects.
The Southern Ocean – between Antarctica and other continents – will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in precipitation over East Asia and the Western U.S.
A primary research focus for the new lab is understanding how young people develop a sense of purpose, and how it impacts their everyday experiences and contributes to their long-term development.
Cornell scientists launched aluminum particles, each about 20 micrometers in diameter, onto an aluminum surface at speeds of up to 1,337 meters per second – well beyond the speed of sound – and used high-speed cameras to record the impacts.
After a long ocean voyage, the first major component of the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope has arrived at its final home: the Cerro Chajnantor mountaintop, more than 18,000 feet above sea level.
Cornell researchers are helping to transform portions of Chattanooga’s transit system into a seamless, AI-powered network where buses, shuttles, electric cars and bikes work together to provide the most efficient routes – at the push of a button.
Researchers studying novel traits in organisms and the fundamental understanding of extreme weather are among the five Cornell assistant professors who've received National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Awards.
Physicist Shahal Ilani will introduce the emerging field of twistronics, which is revolutionizing our ability to harness quantum phenomena, during a public lecture April 9.
Cornell Cinema will present a free screening of the documentary “The Accelerator” on April 8 at 6 p.m. Producer David Raubach will attend the screening and participate in a discussion following the film.
The new results confirm a simple model of the universe and have ruled out a majority of competing alternatives, says the research team.
Researchers have identified exactly what happens when a microbe receives an electron from a quantum dot: The charge can either follow a direct pathway or be transferred indirectly via the microbe’s shuttle molecules.
Students can choose from hundreds of courses in three-, six- and eight-week periods between June 2 and August 5 during Summer Session, 2025.
Chemistry researchers have found ways to reduce the environmental impact of high-density polyethylene by developing a model that enables manufacturers to customize and improve those materials.
Graduate students at Cornell University are gaining confidence in science communication and bringing hands-on learning into K-12 classrooms across New York State.
A materials science and engineering student and his professor devised a low-cost, DIY way to increase the lifespan and efficiency of commercial photovoltaic modules: by lowering the panel’s operating temperature with phase-change materials.
With high-speed cameras, researchers measured the physical forces involved in a handclap, with potential applications in bioacoustics and identification, whereby a handclap could be used to identify someone.
The commitment, the largest in Cornell Engineering’s history, from David A. Duffield ’62, MBA ’64, will significantly expand the college’s existing Duffield Hall, creating a new state-of-the-art home for the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
