An endowed professorship, made possible with a gift from George Stephen Irwin ’67, M.Eng. ’68, is dedicated to engineering education research. Allison Godwin, associate professor in the Smith School, will be the first to hold the professorship.
To conduct low-cost and scalable synthetic biological experiments, Cornell researchers have created a new version of a microbe to compete economically with E. coli – a bacteria used to synthesize proteins.
Researchers went searching for a quantum spin in the popular semiconductor gallium nitride and found it, surprisingly, in two distinct species of defect.
Convening of 80 leaders, researchers and staff across six colleges discussed strategies to address climate change mitigation, adaptation and societal transformation, in a Feb. 1 roundtable sponsored by The 2030 Project.
Researchers led by Cornell have discovered an unusual phenomenon in a metal-insulating material, providing valuable insights for the design of materials with new properties by way of faster switching between states of matter.
Identical twins Ashley and Verena Padres ’26 fell in love with the idea of space exploration and working together at an early age – now they employ and enjoy that spirit of curiosity and collaboration at Cornell.
A novel way to analyze complex network contagion and a new material to improve quantum computers, among other devices, is what two Cornell Engineering faculty members will be working toward, respectively, as recipients of 2024 Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Research Program grants.
The Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR), in partnership with NYSTAR, is providing technical assistance and funding to help three NYS startups advance their technology.
