Showing their scientific savvy, about 140 undergraduates described their studies at the 28th Annual Spring Research Forum at Duffield Hall April 17.

Nano compartments may aid drug delivery, catalyst design

Cornell researchers have created compartment nanoparticles that could carry two or more different drugs to the same target.

Despite young age, galaxy births billions of stars

A Cornell researcher has uncovered an oddity in the early cosmos: A distant galaxy, born just after the Big Bang, is starting to furiously churn out stars at peak capacity – despite its young age.

Ultra-thin transistors spread like butter on toast

An experimental breakthrough for studying the structural evolution of organic transistor layers was reported by a joint team of scientists from Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source.

Rapid reality: Students design 3-D printed products
