Robert Howarth has been appointed to the new Climate Action Council, created to bring about New York’s path to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions and support green energy.
C. Richard Johnson will speak about the field of computational art history and discuss preserving and authenticating the works of Vermeer and Rembrandt Nov. 9.
A Cornell-led collaboration has used state-of-the-art computational tools to model the chaotic behavior of Planckian, or “strange,” metals. This behavior has long intrigued physicists, but they have not been able to simulate it down to the lowest possible temperature until now.
The USDA and the NSF have awarded a three-year, $2.4 million grant to a team of Cornell researchers who will study how ag-to-energy land-use conversions could impact food production.
PARADIM has received a second award of $22.5 million from the National Science Foundation to fund another five years of enabling scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs nationwide to design and create new inorganic materials for use in electronics.
The Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source will partially restart operations in June to conduct research related to treatment of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Sophomores in the Milstein Program in Technology and Humanity were supposed to spend the summer of 2020 at Cornell Tech, but due to the pandemic, that program has moved online.
Cornell researchers developed a first-of-its-kind model to control traffic and intersections in order to increase autonomous car capacity on urban streets, reduce congestion and minimize accidents.
The new Artificial Intelligence, Policy, and Practice Initiative will bring together a community of scholars with expertise in computing, the law, social science, communications and philosophy to create opportunities to collaborate on research.
Don Banfield, a senior research associate specializing in planetary sciences at Cornell University, comments on Martian dust storms like the one threatening NASA's Opportunity rover. He says it's important to consider the risks associated with dust storms, like the one that has silenced the Opportunity rover, when designing future missions to Mars.
