ITHACA, N.Y. — Cornell University will create a new nanotechnology research center with the help of a $25 million grant from a Saudi Arabian educational partnership.
Cornell says the money from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology’s Global Research Partnership will be spread over five years. Cornell was among four universities out of 41 that applied to receive one of the grants. Oxford, Stanford and Texas A&M were also selected.
The center will study nanomaterials for the use in oil recovery, carbon dioxide capture and sequestration, water desalination, and photovoltaics and solid state lighting.
