Cornell’s NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF) convened researchers, industry partners, and national collaborators for its 2025 Annual Meeting on November 18, highlighting advances across photonics, quantum devices, semiconductor fabrication, sustainability, and life sciences.
Cornell researchers have developed a new transistor architecture that could reshape how high-power wireless electronics are engineered, while also addressing supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical semiconductor material.
In 2025, four companies with Cornell-originated technologies — SafetyStratus, Bactana Corporation, Guard Medical and Halo Labs — were acquired by global corporate partners, allowing Cornell technologies to reach broader markets.
Cornell Engineering is rapidly becoming a leader in engineering education research, a field dedicated to designing effective education systems and learning experiences for students. The insights emerging from this work have the potential to redefine engineering education on campus and far outside it.
To equip astronauts with health choices for future missions, a Cornell postdoctoral fellow is leading research with AstroCup, a group that recently tested two menstrual cups in spaceflight as payload on an uncrewed rocket flight.
CTI's 2024-2025 Innovative Teaching & Learning grant recipients focused on how students' thoughts are shaped and expanded upon through the agency of storytelling and the power of metacognitive assessment.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers determined that organic residues of plant oils are poorly preserved in calcareous soils from the Mediterranean, leading decades of archaeologists to likely misidentify olive oil in ceramic artifacts.
REEgen, a Cornell spinout focused on rare earth element (REE) recovery, won the $150,000 grand prize at the 2025 FuzeHub Commercialization Competition, held at the New York State Innovation Summit on Oct. 29-30.
By studying the theoretical limits of how light can be used to perform computation, Cornell researchers have uncovered new insights and strategies for designing energy-efficient optical computing systems.
