Cornell researchers have for the first time imaged the entire depth of the lymph nodes in a living mouse using three-photon microscopy, which enabled them to observe the dynamic interactions of immune cells.
Cornell researchers have found a way to train physical systems, ranging from computer speakers and lasers to simple electronic circuits, to perform machine-learning computations, such as identifying handwritten numbers and spoken vowel sounds.
Peter McMahon, assistant professor of applied and engineering physics in the College of Engineering, and Brad Ramshaw, the Dick & Dale Reis Johnson Assistant Professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, have been named CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hector Abruña, the Emile M. Chamot Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, has been awarded the Frumkin Memorial Medal from the International Society of Electrochemistry.
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.
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.
