Chen, who comes from the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University, started in January as director of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. (Jan. 12, 2009)
Cornell and DuPont researchers have invented a method of preparing carbon nanotubes for suspension in a semiconducting 'ink,' which can then be printed into thin, flexible electronics. (Jan. 8, 2009)
Cornell researchers have used a beam of light to trap and move particles as small as 75 nanometers in diameter, including DNA molecules, a new approach to the 'lab on a chip.' (Dec. 31, 2008)
Quick dissipation of heat at the most fundamental scales is just one way that the work of CNF research associate Derek Stewart may someday change the face of computing and electronics. (Dec. 23, 2008)
