Mason Peck, professor of astronautical engineering at Cornell University and former NASA Chief Technologist, comments on the upcoming 20 year anniversary of humanity living in Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station.
A Cornell-led project found a way to tune the speed and increase the range of energy flow in organic semiconductors, an approach that could eventually lead to more efficient solar cells, sensors and LEDs.
Frank Lomax, an adjunct professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and an expert on the production of synthesis gas as well as plant design, construction and safety analysis, explains why pipelines in Texas can't handle the cold.
Research from the Center for Bright Beams reveals the potential for greater control over the growth of superconducting Nb3Sn films, which could significantly reduce the cost and size of cryogenic infrastructure required for superconducting technology.
As concerns about climate change intensify, researchers are exploring the potential for large-scale human intervention in the Earth’s climate system, a strategy sometimes referred to as geoengineering. Two leading researchers in the area discuss how their research in sunlight reflection methods fits into the bigger picture of potential climate solutions.
New York City mayors past and present attended a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Cornell Tech, the technology and engineering-focused campus that Cornell launched in 2012 with its academic partner, the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
A persistent rapid-fire fast radio burst source – sending out a cosmic ping from more than 3.5 billion light years away – helps reveal the secrets of the broiling space between galaxies.
In 1998, Professor Steven Strogatz and then-student Duncan Watts, Ph.D. '97, published a model that launched the field of network science – the results of which are ubiquitous in today’s world.
Five Cornell faculty members have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest general scientific society.
