Cornell Chemists Tackle Climate Change
As the need to find climate change solutions becomes ever more urgent, Cornell chemists are leading the way with innovative and far-reaching discoveries, including better electric batteries, carbon capture technologies, renewable plastics and improvements in solar cells.
Destructive Cosmic Airbursts Likely More Common than Previously Believed
Touchdown airbursts — a type of cosmic impact that may be more common than the crater-forming, dinosaur-killing kind — remain somewhat less understood.
Some Young Suns Are Aligned with Their Planet-forming Disks, Others Are Born Tilted
