Researchers from Cornell and the University of Virginia collaborated at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source in an effort to better understand the chemistry behind solar cells.
Dr. Michael Satlin at Weill Cornell Medicine and Ilana Brito in Ithaca are researching how to fight drug-resistant bacteria – "superbugs" that threaten cancer patients' fragile immune systems.
After 30 years and more than 500 peer-reviewed publications, the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source's CLEO detector has been removed and will resume data-collection at Jefferson Lab in Virginia.
Cornell has been awarded up to $7 million over five years to lead a consortium of universities exploring new transportation innovations that limit adverse impacts on public health and the environment.
A Cornell engineering group has devised a method for allowing strain and tactile sensing in a soft prosthetic hand, through the use of stretchable optical waveguides.
As a cosmic dust magnet, Saturn's C ring gives away its youth. Once thought formed in an older, primordial era, the ring may be but a mere babe – less than 100 million years old.
New data from NASA’s Cassini mission reveals that Saturn’s bulging core and twisting gravitational forces offer clues to the ages of the planet’s moons. The moons are younger than previously thought.
Professor emeritus of civil and environmental engineering Daniel P. Loucks has been awarded the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Interntional Prize for Water, for his study of water resource management.
