Two Cornell hydrologists have examined drinking water in a potential hydraulic fracturing area in New York’s Southern Tier, determining that it is safe to drink and within federal guidelines.
Cornell researchers led by architecture professor Jenny Sabin have developed 3-D-printed, interlocking ceramic bricks that require no mortar and make efficient use of materials.
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.
