In the quest for the perfect solar cell, Cornell materials science research offers quantifiable insight into the complex chemistry of getting it just right. Their work was published Jan. 30 in Nature Communications.
Robert Langer ’70 has been awarded the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering for "revolutionary advances and leadership in engineering at the interface of chemistry and medicine."
Discover “Evolution in Your Backyard” and celebrate the life and ideas of Charles Darwin at campus and community events for Ithaca’s annual Darwin Days celebration, through Feb. 14.
The NSF has awarded Cornell $2.7 million to acquire a cryogenic, aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope. The microscope could revolutionize research in biology, physics and materials science
Odd materials called "ferromagnetic topological insulators" were expected to produce breakthroughs in electronics and physics, but results have failed to materialize. Scanning at the atomic level shows why.
Dan Huttenlocher, vice provost and dean of Cornell Tech, has been appointed to Corning Incorporated’s board of directors, effective Feb. 3. Huttenlocher will serve on the board’s finance and audit committees.
The seven-year-old Physics Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) program supports Cornell students considering a career in teaching high school physics. The program has grown to over 60 participants this year.
Cornell scientists have made an RNA-only "on" switch to control gene expression – a breakthrough that could revolutionize genetic engineering. The switch is called Small Transcription Activating RNAs, or STARs.
A $50 million gift from Verizon will support the development of the Verizon Executive Education Center on the Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, Cornell Tech officials announced Feb. 2.
