As scientists prepare to study Martian soil for signs of life, a new worry emerges. Acidic fluids once on Mars’ surface may have destroyed biological evidence hidden within the planet’s iron-rich clays.
After being defunded by a company with rights to its intellectual property, development of a pediatric heart-assist device has been revived at Cornell with the help of a $4.7 million defense department grant.
Cornell has a long-standing commitment to help lead the fight against climate change, and on April 2 it became a founding member of the International Universities Climate Alliance.
The Cornell astronomy department will host 51 Pegasi b Fellow Samantha Trumbo, a doctoral student in planetary science at the California Institute of Technology, as she follows up on her breakthrough work on Jupiter’s moon, Europa.
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.
Cornell engineers are the first to study thermal transport in 2D hybrid perovskites – a new class of materials with promising applications for photovoltaics and thermoelectronics.
A Cornell-led collaboration identified an unusual behavior of superfluid helium-3 when it undergoes a phase transition between two different superfluid states – a transition that theoretically shouldn’t happen reliably.
A new artificial intelligence tool developed by Cornell researchers promises to help speed up searches for novel metastable materials with unique properties in fields such as renewable energy and microelectronics.
At 88 years old, professor Don Greenberg ’55 is still on the cutting edge: He’s launched a new undergraduate and graduate course for students in both architecture and computer science, “Design in the Age of Digital Twins.”
A Cornell-developed technology provides beekeepers, consumers and farmers with an antidote for deadly pesticides, which kill wild and managed bees that pollinate crops.
