For four days in late June, Cornell researchers tested the newest version of their GPS ‘spoofing’ detector, which allows them to differentiate between real or fake GPS signals.
A new phase of matter known as topological insulators, until recently known only for esoteric quantum-mechanical properties, might have a practical use in controlling magnetic memory and logic devices.
Cornell physicists have answered a long-standing problem in quantum computing by making a fractional topological superconductor, an exotic state of matter in which emergent quasi-particles perform quantum computations without error.
Researchers at Cornell and Weill Cornell Medical College have received a $1.34 million grant to study whether obesity changes breast tissue in a manner similar to tumors, thereby permitting the disease to develop.
Scientists have found a link between "broken symmetry"in high temperature superconductors and "density waves" that seem to keep superconductivity from happening at still higher temperatures.
Yimon Aye, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology, has been named a Beckman Young Investigator by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation.
President David Skorton and Cornell Tech Dean and Vice Provost Dan Huttenlocher offered their views on research funding, new approaches and pressing challenges at a summit in New York City.
While developed countries have long been blamed for Earth’s rising greenhouse gas emissions, Cornell researchers now predict when developing countries will contribute more to climate change than advanced societies: 2030.
