An international research expedition involving Cornell has uncovered new details as to why a 2011 earthquake northeast of Japan behaved so unusually as it lifted the seafloor and produced a tsunami that devastated coastal communities.
The LIGO-VIRGO-KAGRA team has announced a black hole merger similar to its first detection; a decade’s worth of technological advances allow unprecedented tests of General Relativity to be performed.
By studying the theoretical limits of how light can be used to perform computation, Cornell researchers have uncovered new insights and strategies for designing energy-efficient optical computing systems.
Mako, co-founded by assistant professor Mohamed Abdelfattah, sets out to tackle one of artificial intelligence’s most pressing infrastructure challenges: optimizing the computing efficiency of graphics processing units.
The Global Radio Explorer telescope is a series of eight terminals being built and tested at Cornell and the California Institute of Technology, and installed at locations around the world.
Cornell graduate students Nicole Verboncoeur and Jake Parsons earned 1st and 2nd Prize awards at SRF2025 in Tokyo for outstanding research in superconducting radio-frequency technology.
Cornell researchers tallied the environmental benefits of New York City’s congestion pricing program and found air pollution dropped by 22% in Manhattan, with additional declines across the city’s five boroughs and surrounding suburbs.
An international collaboration led by Cornell researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to map how – and where – the psychedelic compound rewires the connections in the brain.
Nozomi Ando, professor of chemistry and chemical biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been named a Schmidt Polymath, part of a global cohort of eight scientists and engineers who will each receive up to $2.5 million over five years.
