In solar science, a little structural harmony goes a long way. By finding the atomic equivalent of a perfect handshake between two types of perovskite—a class of crystalline materials prized for their ability to convert sunlight into electricity—researchers at Cornell have built solar cells that are not only high-performing, but exceptionally durable.

Faster isn't always better when it comes to high-speed materials science, according to new Cornell research showing that tiny metal particles bond best at a precise supersonic speed. In industrial processes like cold spray coating and additive manufacturing, tiny metal particles travel at extreme speeds and slam into a surface with such force that they fuse together, forming strong metallic bonds.

Jill Tarter was the only woman in her engineering physics class when she graduated from Cornell Engineering in 1965. Returning to Cornell for the first time in years, she recently observed that the campus has significantly changed – including a much more balanced mix of students. The undergraduate population in Cornell Engineering, specifically, first reached gender parity in 2018. “That’s an enormous change.
