In their new book, “Big Math,” mathematicians Steven Strogatz and Alex Townsend crack open our algorithm-driven world and reveal the history of mathematical concepts that undergird, and often control, modern life.
A collaboration between researchers at Cornell and City University of Hong Kong has produced a computational tool that could help overcome one surprising obstacle to the efficient production of green hydrogen: bubbles.
In Cornell’s new SCALE Lab, engineers design metastructures that buckle, bend or change shape in controlled ways, enabling new functionalities for everything from more resilient infrastructure to sustainable buildings.
In 2025, data centers paid only 38% of the energy infrastructure costs linked to their growth, with households, especially rural and low-income residents, bearing the remaining burden.
Cornell engineers have developed a semiconductor material with a record-setting bandgap and turned it into working devices, opening the door to electronics that handle much higher voltages while wasting less energy.
A new study presents rhombohedral hexalayer graphene as a promising quantum materials platform for studying electron interactions and developing technologies.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated that uranium ditelluride can exhibit both flavors of superconductivity at once, setting it apart as a leading candidate to be a topological superconductor.
