Cornell Atkinson has awarded $900k to support six new research projects that seek to protect coral reefs, improve greenhouse agriculture and understand whether wildfires affect disease spread.
The group of 50 scholars will talk about how to build an undergraduate educational experience that crosses both disciplinary boundaries and institutional lines.
Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns – atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual quantum behaviors – without relying on the twisting and stacking methods traditionally used.
Researchers identified very different mechanisms behind two historic eruptions of Mount Etna in Italy – a finding that can help geologists assess the risk of future eruptions.
Cornell researchers have developed a computing device that stores information electrically but reads it through tiny mechanical motion, an approach that could open a path toward more energy-efficient hardware for AI and scientific computing.
New research from a team of scientists led by Cornell is transforming how researchers understand one of the atmosphere’s most abundant and least understood constituents: mineral dust.
For her volunteer outreach encouraging local children to learn about physics and reading, Abra Geiger ’26 has won the 2026 University Relations Campus-Community Leadership Award.
