To obtain data about shifts in avian migratory patterns, birds are being fitted with sensor-filled backpacks. A Cornell lab is developing the ultra-lightweight energy source to power those sensors using the vibrations from the birds' motion.
Joseph Veverka, professor emeritus of astronomy, who studied the many crannies, crevices, clefts and comets within our solar system, has become the second faculty member to win one of astronomy’s most distinguished awards – the Kuiper Prize.
Revealing the electronic structure of an unusual superconductor may give theorists the tools to understand how superconductors work and create high-temperature versions.
Researchers have moved a step closer to making graphene a useful, controllable material: They have shown that when grown in stacked layers, graphene produces defects that influence its conductivity.
The International Linear Collider has received pivotal insights from Cornell physicists: They have designed a key component of the proposed collider called a damping ring.
