The design methodology of a new IBM computer chip inspired by the human brain was pioneered by Cornell Tech’s Rajit Manohar. “After years of collaboration with IBM, we are now a step closer to building a computer similar to our brain,” Manohar said.
Striving to achieve safer, longer-lasting batteries for the modern world’s trappings – automobiles, cell phones, computers, autonomous robots – Cornell chemical engineers have added salt to their chemistry.
Cornell Tech in New York City is a graduate campus, but promoting computational thinking and doing for much younger students has, from its inception, been part of Cornell Tech’s core mission, said Diane Levitt, Cornell Tech's K-12 education director.
Cornell physicists have answered a long-standing problem in quantum computing by making a fractional topological superconductor, an exotic state of matter in which emergent quasi-particles perform quantum computations without error.
President David Skorton and Cornell Tech Dean and Vice Provost Dan Huttenlocher offered their views on research funding, new approaches and pressing challenges at a summit in New York City.
The Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) program, which offers career resources about non-academic jobs, is now available to all Cornell Ph.D. students and postdocs.
The 2014 Geospatial In-Service workshop taught 4-H leaders about global positioning systems and other related tools, which participants plan to introduce to their New York counties.
Computer scientist David Steurer has been awarded a Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship to support research to find the "laws of efficient computation," which might lead to a new way to solve many very hard problems.
