Cornell engineering students are creating a state-of-the-art computer model to strategically place trees on highways near residential areas to mitigate pollution particles and improve human health.
Lance R. Collins, the Joseph Silbert Dean of Engineering at Cornell, was presented with the inaugural Mosaic Medal of Distinction in Washington, D.C. for his leadership in creating opportunities for diverse Cornell communities.
A $1 million award from the Keck Foundation has helped support new research into topological superconducting by a group led by Eun-Ah Kim, associate professor of physics.
Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $15 million in Upstate Revitalization Initiative funding for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, for storage ring and X-ray beam upgrades and job creation.
A group led by physics professor Paul McEuen reports clear visualization of excitons in bilayer graphene, the unique properties of which make the material of potential interest in the development of optoelectronic devices.
Instrument maker Anton Paar has loaned Cornell a $500,000 state-of-the-art rheometer; researchers will be able to do complex experiments here instead of having to drive six hours east.
