Stirred, not shaken: Physicists gain more particle control

Cornell physicists can now control with precision how the particles in viscous liquids swirl, twirl and whirl. Think of adding cream to coffee - and managing the cream stream.

Julius Lucks receives 2013 Sloan Research Fellowship

The assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering was among 126 researchers recognized for distinguished performance and potential.

X-ray imaging sheds new light on bone damage

Researchers have uncovered cellular-level detail of what happens when bone bears repetitive stress over time, visualizing damage at smaller scales than previously observed.

Mosh pits can shed light on panic situations

Moshers' behavior, like flocks of birds or gas particles, can be predicted with simplified theoretical models, physicists say.

Physicists crack science of ice formation

For a variety of common cryoprotectants, the time for ice to form has a simple exponential variation with concentration.
