Using observations of gravitational waves, physicists at Cornell, MIT and three other institutions have for the first time confirmed Stephen Hawking’s area theorem of black holes, which states their event horizons should never shrink.
Cornell engineers and plant scientists have teamed up to develop a low-cost system that allows grape growers to predict their yields much earlier in the season and more accurately than costly traditional methods.
David Hysell, Ph.D. ’92, professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, is using NSF funding to develop radar tools and techniques for monitoring space weather, including the creation of a new radar system at Cornell.
A small contribution from Tristan Lambert, professor of chemistry and chemical biology, when he was a doctoral student helped catalyze the breakthrough in catalysis that led to the 2021 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
The NSF has awarded a $1.5 million grant for Cornell researchers to study the health dangers, changes in the lake food web and socioeconomic challenges when these algal blooms produce toxins.
Cornell systems engineers examined data from a busy New York state food bank and, using a new algorithm, found ways to better allocate food and elevate nutrition in the process.
Don Banfield, a research scientist at Cornell University and lead on weather science for NASA's InSight lander, comments on the first weather report from Mars.
Using light from the Big Bang, an international team led by Cornell and the Berkeley National Laboratory has begun to unveil the material which fuels galaxy formation.
The Ezra’s Bridge program aims to address challenges faced by populations underrepresented in chemical and materials sciences by providing students with a full-tuition scholarship, research opportunities and mentoring.
The Bovay Civil Infrastructure Laboratory Complex has a new tenant: a roughly 6,000-pound industrial robot capable of 3D printing large-scale structures that could make construction more sustainable.
