The world's smallest guitar — carved out of crystalline silicon and no larger than a single cell — has been made at Cornell University to demonstrate a new technology that could have a variety of uses in fiber optics, displays, sensors and electronics.
The Cornell Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers this weekend will finish construction on a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Cascadilla Creek to link the Ithaca Sciencenter and the Tompkins County Cornell Cooperative Extension office, adjacent to Route 13.
Robert A. Brown, the dean of engineering and the Warren K. Lewis Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will deliver the 10th annual Julian C. Smith Lectures in Chemical Engineering at Cornell on April 22 and April 24.
Cornell scientists have achieved a "Holy Grail" of materials science -- pure, single crystal growth of any film on a semiconductor substrate, a technique that holds promise to revolutionize electronics.
The biological applications of engineering, or bioengineering, is the topic of the 1997 Cornell Society of Engineers annual conference April 10-12 at Cornell.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to learn about the upper atmosphere. Just ask someone who is. A Cornell rocket scientist, in cooperation with NASA and a local science museum, will be available online via the Internet to "chat" live.
Most people think nothing of it when their desktop ink jet printer spews out page after page of documents, or how the characters are formed, letter after letter, line after line. The hum of the cartridge moving across the page is their only concern.
Cornell alumni will revisit their alma mater the weekend of Sept. 20-22 for Homecoming 1996, the university's annual fall celebration featuring educational, athletic and social events for all members of the Cornell community.
Cornell materials scientists have come up with a novel technique that could vastly improve the performance and yield of silicon microelectronic and optical devices, which are used in semiconductor integrated circuits that power everything from computers to telephones.
