Saul Teukolsky, the Hans A. Bethe Professor of Physics and Astrophysics in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been awarded the International Centre for Theoretical Physics’ 2021 ICTP Dirac Medal and Prize for his contributions to the detection of gravitational waves.
Blockchain technology expert Ari Juels testified Jan. 20 before a Congressional subcommittee that digital currency – a notorious energy guzzler – can be validated in greener ways.
As the pandemic pomp and COVID circumstances dissipate, Cornell’s McGovern Center and Praxis Center incubators graduated five startups, putting them on the road to success.
A summit hosted at Cornell Tech on Feb. 28 brought together more than 50 principals, guidance counselors, students and leaders from community-based organizations to discuss how to grow Cornell’s Bridge Scholars program from a successful pilot initiative into a nation-wide collaborative.
As ground-based and space telescopes improve, astronomers need a color-coded guide to compare Earth’s biological microbes to cold, distant exoplanets to grasp their composition.
A collaboration led by Eun-Ah Kim, professor in the College of Art and Sciences, employed machine learning to analyze a massive dataset from a quantum metal to settle a debate about this material.
Cornell physicist’s discovery could lead to the engineering of high-temp superconducting properties into materials useful for quantum computing, medical imaging.
Fumbling to find flashlights during blackouts soon may be a memory, as quantum computing and AI may quickly solve an electric grid’s hiccups so fast, humans may not notice.
Intensive study of Oumuamua after its 2017 detection helped astronomer Darryl Seligman find potential “dark comets” in our solar system – small bodies that look like asteroids but act like comets.
Physicist Eun-Ah Kim is leading the way toward applications of quantum mechanics, including the discovery of new quantum materials and the development of quantum computing.
