Student innovation shines in Animal Health Hackathon

Students honed their business acumen for helping all creatures great and small at the Animal Health Hackathon, held virtually Feb. 4-6.

Electrostatic engineering gets the lead out for faster batteries

A Cornell-led collaboration has discovered a new approach for making a lead-free antiferroelectric material that performs as well as its toxic relatives.

Texas power crisis revealed flaw in market’s design

New research finds decentralized electricity markets are prone to underinvestment in resilience to rare events like the severe winter storms that crippled the Texas grid a year ago.

Innovative projects prepare students for ‘real’ engineering

Active learning in Mechatronics (MAE 3780) gives students hands-on experience applying concepts and theory to solve real-world problems. Students learn as they collaborate to build robots for a competition at the end of the term.

Chemical engineer, animal scientist win 2022 Schwartz awards

Two faculty members – studying topics ranging from reproductive performance in dairy cows to the introduction of living organisms into material design – are winners of 2022 Schwartz Research Funds for Women and Other Underrepresented Faculty in the Life Sciences.

Superheated steam can nix pathogens in dry food processing

In the arid world of processing flour and food powders, where using water to sanitize is impossible, Cornell researchers are studying dry, superheated steam.

Low-level jet models inform US offshore wind development

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.

Cornell software enables 3D printing on space station

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.

Bioreactors harness bacteria to treat farm runoff

Fertilizer runoff is a significant source of water pollution. Matthew Reid looks to woodchip bioreactors modeled on nature to solve the problem.

Academic Integration office reports 15 new seed grants

Cornell's Office of Academic Integration has announced 15 new multi-investigator seed grants, including support for a project on climate change, pollen and asthma attacks and another to develop a microbial delivery system for a unique treatment of colorectal cancer.
