During the past year, students and faculty at Cornell and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University have been partnering on a research project built around two shared goals: increasing diversity in the field of materials science and transforming the way the world generates and stores energy.
According to the researchers at Cornell University, a technical marvel, cilia have proved difficult to reproduce in engineering applications, especially at the microscale.
Cilia are the body's diligent ushers. These microscopic hairs, which move fluid by rhythmic beating, are responsible for pushing cerebrospinal fluid in your brain, clearing the phlegm and dirt from your lungs, and keeping other organs and tissues clean.
Holding the right material at the right angle, Cornell researchers have discovered a strategy to switch the magnetization in thin layers of a ferromagnet – a technique that could eventually lead to the development of more energy-efficient magnetic memory devices.
A nitrogen-doped carbon-coated nickel anode can catalyze a crucial reaction in hydrogen fuel cells at a small percentage of the cost of the precious metals presently used, scientists from Cornell University have discovered.
