Doctoral students Chijioke Onah (English language and literature) and Nic Vigilante (music) were selected as two of 45 inaugural Mellon/American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Dissertation Innovation Fellows.
A Cornell-led collaboration harnessed chemical reactions to make microscale origami machines self-fold – freeing them from the liquids in which they usually function, so they can operate in dry environments and at room temperature.
Cornell researchers have for the first time characterized a key property of the superconducting state of a class of atomically thin materials that are too difficult to measure due to their minuscule size.
Increasing women’s representation in science, technology, engineering and math majors will reduce – but not nearly eliminate – gender disparities in STEM occupations, new Cornell sociology research finds.
A Cornell-led project used ancient DNA extraction and analysis to reconstruct the phenotype of the renowned sled dog Balto, revealing his lineage was genetically healthier and less inbred than modern breeds.
Cornell researchers have developed an optical neural network that can filter relevant information from a scene before the visual image is detected by a camera, a method that may make it possible to build faster, smaller and more energy-efficient image sensors.
In a review of more than three decades’ worth of studies a Cornell-led research group found that more research on messaging that includes the voices of historically marginalized people is necessary in the push toward equity.
