The "premier telescope in space right now" will start a fourth annual cycle of observations on July 1, and three early-career astronomy researchers in A&S are PI or co-PI on observation programs chosen from a very competitive field.
The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility has enabled scientists and engineers from academia and industry to conduct groundbreaking research, thanks to continuous support from the National Science Foundation. But that funding is now at risk.
Best-selling writer and technology blogger Cory Doctorow will make the A.D. White Professor-at-Large program’s second dual-campus visit, ending his week at Cornell Tech in New York City. Four other professors will visit Cornell this fall.
The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility has launched a free VR youth outreach module, designed to prepare the next generation of students in cutting-edge microchip fabrication.
Using custom-built computer simulations, Cornell researchers have visualized solid-solid phase transitions in unprecedented detail, capturing the motion of every particle in a theoretical material as its crystal structure morphs into another.
Among those being recognized for exceptional teaching and mentorship this year are faculty members Begüm Adalet, Claudia Verhoeven, and Marcelo Aguiar.
Researchers developed machine-learning models that can sift through cell-free RNA and identify key biomarkers for chronic fatigue syndrome, a debilitating disease that is difficult to confirm in patients because its symptoms can be easily confused with those of other illnesses.
Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat Type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression.
