More than a century after pioneering engineer Marie Reith vowed to “do some good” in the world, her legacy endures through the new Marie Reith Class of 1921 Scholarship. Funded by Herb Fontecilla ’66, M.Eng. ’67, the gift honors the woman who helped him begin his Cornell journey and will support future first-generation engineers.
The Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability and long-time collaborator Environmental Defense Fund announce their 2025 awardees for joint research and seek new proposals for 2026 initiatives.
A newly restructured, student-focused Office of Innovation and External Collaboration will prepare Cornell Engineering students for career success and provide a clear point of entry to industry partners and employers looking to engage with the college’s students and faculty.
Greg Fuchs, the James R. Meehl Professor in School of Applied and Engineering Physics, and Thomas Hartman, professor in the Department of Physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, have been elected as fellows of the American Physical Society.
Cornell researchers have built a programmable optical chip that can change the color of light by merging photons, without requiring a new chip for new colors – technology that could potentially be used for classical and quantum communications networks.
A Cornell doctoral student has developed an open-source software package that could transform how engineers design floating offshore structures for renewable energy and other ocean applications.
The Center for Teaching Innovation published two series of adaptable case studies, from the Creative Teaching Awards and Provost’s Working Group for Innovation in Assessment, showcasing new Cornell faculty approaches to assessing student learning.
Researchers devised a new method to image intact bacterial cells and large organelle up to 500-800 nanometers thick – a roughly fivefold improvement over current methods.
