1-D ‘wires’ could advance quantum electronics

Group discovers method for growing 1-dimensional "wires" on a 2-D material, paving the way for future advances in quantum electronics.

Newly developed techniques shed light on key protein’s regulatory ability

A research group led by physics professor Michelle Wang has determined the mechanism by which a key bacterial transcription factor operates in resolving conflicts with other processes. 

New initiative’s inaugural symposium bridges campuses

A symposium sponsored through the new Academic Integration Initiative aimed to link together collaborative research and discovery across Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech and Cornell’s main campus in Ithaca.

Group maps atomic shifts in charge-ordered manganite

A group led by physics professor Lena Kourkoutis has mapped the picometer-scale lattice displacements of individual manganite atoms, which give rise to metal-insulator transitions and other phenomena. 

Cornell team devises rapid test for vitamin A, iron deficits

Cornell engineers and nutritionists have created a swift solution for a challenging global health problem: a low-cost, rapid test to detect iron and vitamin A deficiencies at the point of care.

Cornell Tech inaugurates Tata Innovation Center

Tata Consultancy Services, a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, announced Dec. 4 a $50 million investment in Cornell Tech. The investment includes a significant gift for the first phase of capital development on the Roosevelt Island campus.

People with disabilities more likely to be arrested

People with disabilities in the study were nearly 44 percent more likely to be arrested by age 28, while those without had a lower probability of arrest, at 30 percent. This “disability penalty” was strongest for African-American men.

On the highway to health: trimming toxins with trees

Cornell engineering students are creating a state-of-the-art computer model to strategically place trees on highways near residential areas to mitigate pollution particles and improve human health.

Keck-funded group proposes new topological superconductor

A $1 million award from the Keck Foundation has helped support new research into topological superconducting by a group led by Eun-Ah Kim, associate professor of physics.
