Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral structures – or “chiral” materials – producing films with extraordinary light-bending properties.
The research upends the long-standing belief is that active volcanoes have large magma bodies that are expelled during eruptions and then dissipate over time.
In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent Cornell research in battery development and design.
The executive order was the result of an intensive monthslong review by the Biden administration of hacking by criminals and foreign governments during the past four years.
The Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need program, or GAANN, funds and trains graduate students to teach engineering concepts as a lead instructor in the classroom.
The White House has recognized six Cornell faculty members, three from the Ithaca campus and three from Weill Cornell Medicine, with 2025 Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers. The awards were announced Jan. 14.
A research team led by Cornell has demonstrated how quantum computing and artificial intelligence can be used to design new peptides capable of capturing microplastics that pose serious risks to ecosystems and human health.
The first-of-its-kind material not only expands and contracts like blood vessels but is also biodegradable; new vascular cells to grow around the graft as the body absorbs it.
An advanced imaging technique developed at Cornell has revealed the first two-dimensional, mechanically interlocked polymer – resembling the links in chainmail - confirming a breakthrough in both material design and electron microscopy.
Cornell researchers Greeshma Gadikota, Phil Milner and Tobias Hanrath discuss their carbon capture research, including a new experimental CAPTURE-Lab at Cornell’s Combined Heat and Power Plant.
Reaffirming and extending Cornell Engineering’s longstanding commitment to providing a supportive learning environment for students of all backgrounds, the college announced a significant reorganization of its Office of Inclusive Excellence, including new leadership and a broader vision.
