The Gustavus John Esseln Award for Chemistry in the Public Interest from the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society honors outstanding achievement in scientific and technical work that contributes to public well-being.
Robert John Sullivan, Jr., one of the world’s foremost authorities on aeolian processes – how wind can carve and change a landscape – died Feb. 15 in Ithaca of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He was 63.
Researchers have found that quantum systems in a frozen state can be stabilized long enough to be a useful strategy for preserving information before it disappears.
With a proposal titled “Fast Transients: Revealing the Diversity of Relativistic Stellar Explosions,” Ho is one of 24 early career scholars in chemistry, physics and astronomy each receiving $120,000 for proposals incorporating research and science education.
A new artificial intelligence framework developed at Cornell can accurately predict the performance of battery electrolytes while revealing the chemical principles that govern them, providing engineers with a new tool for designing better batteries.
Researchers discovered electron transfer in electroactive bacteria is mediated by CymA proteins’ ability to synchronize and form a biomolecular condensate in the cell’s inner membrane.
Researchers demonstrated how a swarm of microrobots spinning on a water surface can together generate the fluidic torque needed to manipulate passive structures without any physical contact.
A Cornell-led collaboration used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance.
Twelve outstanding early-career scholars have been chosen as the 2026 cohort of Klarman Postdoctoral Fellows to pursue research in the sciences, social sciences and humanities.
Several New York–based technology companies are accelerating next-generation semiconductor manufacturing with support from the NY THRIVE Innovation Voucher program, including projects in collaboration with Cornell University’s world-class research facilities.
