A novel way of studying binary black holes by identifying each of their individual component black holes by spins – rather than masses – leads to improved spin measurements.
A team of chemists, including Cornell’s Paul Houston, has unveiled the mechanics involved in the interplay between sunlight and molecules known as “roaming reactions,” which could improve climate change modeling.
A study of the size, duration and actors involved in more than 100,000 conflicts suggests a model that can make quantitative predictions about the structure of war on large scales.
Cornell researchers have developed a method of magneto-thermal imaging that offers nanoscale and picosecond resolution previously available only in synchrotron facilities.
Millions of people around the world hushed on Feb. 18 to hear NASA engineer Swati Mohan ’04 calmly call the play-by-play of Perseverance rover landing on Mars.
Physicist Suzanne Staggs will talk about detecting radiation left over from the Big Bang, using the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, in the Spring Hans Bethe Lecture, March 11 in Rockefeller Hall.
Esteban Gazel, associate professor of earth and atmospheric sciences at Cornell University, comments on news that the Katla volcano in Iceland is emitting large volumes of carbon dioxide.
After examining many suns and planet surfaces, Cornell astronomers have developed an environmental color “decoder” to tease out climate clues for potentially habitable exoplanets in galaxies far away.
New research from the College of Engineering lays out in detail why ranked-choice voting, combined with multi-member legislative districts, promotes fair representation, particularly when it comes to blunting the practice of gerrymandering.
In a new pilot run by Cornell and NYSEG, participants will pay a flat rate for their electricity bill and use an app that provides information about how to reduce electricity use and costs.
