The second annual Intercampus Cancer Symposium, Oct. 11 at the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine, will highlight the wide range of cancer research taking place at Cornell’s Ithaca campus and at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City.
New Cornell research is pointing the way toward an elusive goal of physicists – high-temperature superfluidity – by exploring excitons in atomically thin semiconductors.
Cornell Atkinson has awarded seven Academic Venture Fund seed grants, totaling $1.1 million, for projects that engage faculty from eight Cornell colleges and 16 academic departments.
Cornell has announced its 2020 cohort of Commercialization Fellows, who will spend a fully funded summer and semester exploring market viability for new technologies, including novel robots and a vaccine delivery system.
Michelle Wang, professor of physics at Cornell University, and Steven Adie, professor of biomedical engineering at Cornell University, comment on how Nobel laureate Arthur Ashkin influenced their work.
A collaboration between researchers from Cornell, Harvard, Stanford and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has resulted in a reactive copper-nitrene catalyst that pries apart carbon-hydrogen bonds and transforms them into carbon-nitrogen bonds, a crucial building block for chemical synthesis.
Researchers devised a new method of using extracts to create shelf-stable vaccines on demand, a potentially game-changing approach to fighting infection in regions that have limited access to such medicines.
Kesten is widely considered one of the most prolific and influential practitioners of probability theory, influencing engineering, computer science, ecology, economics and other fields.
Ilana Brito, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, has been named a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences. Brito will receive a four-year, $300,000 grant to further her study of the human microbiome.
The iconic “pale blue dot” photograph of Earth was taken 30 years ago – Feb. 14, 1990, at a distance of 3.7 billion miles – by the NASA spacecraft Voyager 1 as it zipped toward the far edge of the solar system.
