Assistant professor Natasha Holmes redesigned her course Physics of the Heavens and Earth with innovative active learning activities so that non-majors could better understand the concepts.
A new study describes a breakthrough method for imaging the physical and chemical interactions that sequester carbon in soil at near atomic scales, which may have implications for mitigating climate change.
An interdisciplinary team developed a tool to parse quantum matter and make crucial distinctions in the data, helping scientists unravel the most confounding phenomena in the subatomic realm.
With a $3 million National Science Foundation grant, Cornell researchers are creating a new approach to architecture by learning how plants and animals form internal structures.
By using a radio telescope array, a Cornell postdoc and an international team of scientists may have detected emissions from a planet beyond our own solar system.
Mason Peck, former NASA Chief Technologist and Cornell University aerospace engineering professor, comments on the legacy of NASA's Opportunity rover — now facing a massive wind storm on Mars.
A group led by Greg Fuchs has shown that quantum spin transitions can be driven solely by acoustic waves, a discovery that enables engineers to build smaller, more power-efficient acoustic sensors that can be packed more tightly on a single device.
