A mile-long asteroid that raced past Earth July 25 at about 45,000 miles per hour was imaged by radar telescopes so that astronomers like Cornell's Sean Marshall could discern its precise orbit and physical shape.
Physicists have demonstrated the application of kirigami on 10-micron sheets of graphene, which they can cut, fold and twist. The research could pave the way for some of the smallest machines the world has ever known.
Cornell physicists in the lab of Mukund Vengalattore have developed a novel method of manipulating mechanical resonators to be sensitive enough to work at the quantum scale.
Sibling suns – made famous in "Star Wars" – and the planets around them may be more common than we've thought, and Cornell astronomers are presenting new ideas on how to find them.
Physics student Joseph Parisi '18 leads a task on predicative analytics for balloon and payload trajectories as an intern at World View, a space tourism start-up.
Todd Walter, associate professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering, has been appointed director of the New York State Water Resources Institute, effective July 1.
Undergraduates from across the country are spending several weeks at Cornell this summer researching topics in accelerator physics or X-ray science thanks to two programs funded by the National Science Foundation.
Juan Hinestroza and his students live in a cotton-soft nano world, where they create clothing that kills bacteria, conducts electricity, wards off malaria, captures harmful gas and weaves transistors into shirts and dresses.
