Cornell-led team demonstrates silicon-doped ultra-wide-bandgap (AlGa)2O3 semiconductor at 7 eV

Researchers from Cornell University and collaborating institutions have fabricated a silicon-doped alpha-phase aluminum gallium oxide semiconductor with a bandgap of approximately 7 electron volts. The work, supported by multiple US funding agencies including AFOSR, AFRL and NSF, demonstrates controlled doping of this ultra-wide-bandgap material system.

Social media users flood algorithms to shield identity of Cornell assault accuser

As a case involving seven Cornell students accused in an assault allegation spreads online, social media users have begun posting decoy or unrelated content tagged similarly to drown out searches that could expose the identity of the anonymous accuser, known publicly as Jane Doe.

The research comes as employers have been cutting training budgets while redirecting spending toward AI adoption.

Cornell researchers restore aging lithium-ion battery electrodes without shredding them

Cornell University scientists created a process called Direct Electrode-to-Electrode Regeneration (DEER) that revives worn EV battery electrodes by chemically stripping excess solid electrolyte interphase buildup rather than shredding cells into raw materials. Treated electrodes recovered up to 95% of original capacity and degraded more slowly than untreated batteries, and a second treatment round restored capacity to 90% even after prior regeneration.
