Professor of astronomy James Cordes is a co-principal investigator on a NSF-funded project to create of a new center that will seek out low-frequency gravitational waves.
Winfried Denk, Ph.D. ’89, Karel Svoboda ’88, and David Tank, M.S. ’80, Ph.D. ’83, have won the Brain Prize for their groundbreaking work with two-photon microscopy. All three graduates worked in the laboratory of Watt Webb.
Computers are learning to recognize objects with near-human ability. But Cornell researchers have found that computers, like humans, can be fooled by optical illusions, which raises security concerns.
Sifting through the center of the Milky Way galaxy, astronomers have made the first direct observations – using an infrared telescope aboard a modified Boeing 747 – of cosmic building-block dust that survived an ancient supernova.
