ITHACA — Two companies will participate in the spring semester JumpStart program from the Cornell Center for Materials Research.
Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology, and Innovation (NYSTAR) funds the program. It aims to help small businesses develop and improve their products through collaborations with universities.
JumpStart projects receive up to $5,000 in matching funds for project costs that include faculty and research staff, facilities, services, supplies, and materials.
Ames Goldsmith Corp. of South Glens Falls will work this spring with Cornell University Professor Emmanuel Giannelis on a project involving precipitated metal particles. ELIA Life Technology, Inc. of New York City will work with Professor Chris Ober on materials that can be printed using standard ink jet printer heads to create a printed surface that can be felt by hand.
