Yansong (Harry) Peng, a biomedical engineering Ph.D. candidate, was selected for an International Foundation for Ethical Research Graduate Fellowship for Alternatives to the Use of Animals in Science.
Terrell Morton, assistant professor of identity and justice in STEM education at the University of Illinois Chicago, discussed power and privilege in mentoring during the 2025 MAC Public Keynote.
Chemistry researchers have found ways to reduce the environmental impact of high-density polyethylene by developing a model that enables manufacturers to customize and improve those materials.
Graduate students at Cornell University are gaining confidence in science communication and bringing hands-on learning into K-12 classrooms across New York State.
Vera Cooper Rubin, M.S. ’51, a pathbreaking astronomer whose life’s work included procuring the scientific evidence to prove the existence of dark matter, is being featured on the 2025 batch of the American Women Quarters Program.
A Cornell-led collaboration devised a new method for designing metals and alloys that can withstand extreme impacts: introducing nanometer-scale speed bumps that suppress a fundamental transition that controls how metallic materials deform.
Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, but Cornell researchers have uncovered a way to control these transformations.
