Cornell researchers are demonstrating how artificial intelligence – particularly deep learning and generative modeling – can accelerate the design of new molecules and materials, and even function as an autonomous research assistant.
Brad Ramshaw, associate professor of physics, has been named to the 2025 class of Brown Investigators. Each investigator, recognized for curiosity-driven research in chemistry or physics, will receive up to $2 million over five years.
Héctor Abruña, the Émile M. Chamot Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, is honored for his pivotal contributions to understanding electrochemical processes.
Cornell researchers are working to understand how robots can assist humans in dangerous and physically challenging environments, but the project, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, has been halted by a stop-work order.
Among those being recognized for exceptional teaching and mentorship this year are faculty members Begüm Adalet, Claudia Verhoeven, and Marcelo Aguiar.
Using advanced technology that analyzes tiny gas bubbles trapped in crystal, a team of scientists led by Cornell has precisely mapped how magma storage evolves as Hawaiian volcanoes age.
By finding the atomic equivalent of a perfect handshake between two types of perovskite, researchers at Cornell have built solar cells that are not only high-performing, but exceptionally durable.
