Using custom-built computer simulations, Cornell researchers have visualized solid-solid phase transitions in unprecedented detail, capturing the motion of every particle in a theoretical material as its crystal structure morphs into another.
Cornell chemistry researchers have designed a light-powered, reusable catalyst that’s pre-charged by electricity and capable of driving challenging reactions, with applications including drug development and environmental clean-up.
Cornell Engineering is rapidly becoming a leader in engineering education research, a field dedicated to designing effective education systems and learning experiences for students. The insights emerging from this work have the potential to redefine engineering education on campus and far outside it.
The 2025 Cornell Energy Summit: “The Energy Landscape: Meeting Global Needs in the Age of Sustainability” will be held on April 30, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Statler Hotel Ballroom.
The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility has launched a free VR youth outreach module, designed to prepare the next generation of students in cutting-edge microchip fabrication.
Brad Ramshaw, associate professor of physics, has been named to the 2025 class of Brown Investigators. Each investigator, recognized for curiosity-driven research in chemistry or physics, will receive up to $2 million over five years.
Researchers developed machine-learning models that can sift through cell-free RNA and identify key biomarkers for chronic fatigue syndrome, a debilitating disease that is difficult to confirm in patients because its symptoms can be easily confused with those of other illnesses.
Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat Type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression.
The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility has enabled scientists and engineers from academia and industry to conduct groundbreaking research, thanks to continuous support from the National Science Foundation. But that funding is now at risk.
