Negative thermal expansion, or NTE, is a rare but important phenomenon, and Cornell researchers have developed a better “map” for finding NTE in materials.
Cornell researchers played a key role in an international collaboration that measured the magnetic field of the elusive subatomic particle known as the muon. Their findings provide strong evidence of an undiscovered type of fundamental physics.
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.
NASA’s Cassini and Huygen’s missions have provided a wealth of data about chemical elements found on Saturn’s moon Titan, and Cornell scientists have uncovered a chemical trail that suggests prebiotic conditions may exist there.
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.
An update from the Office of the Assemblies, including brief reports from the Student Assembly, Graduate and Professional Student Assembly, Employee Assembly and University Assembly.
Cornell geophysicist Geoffrey Abers analyzes Tuesday's 7.9 magnitude earthquake, which comes ahead of largest seismometer experiment coming to the Alaskan Peninsula.
A new solar collector array atop Guterman Research Center is one of several sustainability projects, from reusable dining serviceware to living laboratory experiments, that are continuing apace despite the many interruptions made by COVID-19 to campus life.
