The Feb. 28 event will provide a forum for scientists, social scientists and humanities scholars to discuss challenges to research support in response to recent major changes to federal funding.
As Cornell moves forward with a large-scale expansion of Duffield Hall, the directorship of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Cornell Engineering has been named in honor of the late Ellis L. Phillips Sr., Class of 1895.
A primary research focus for the new lab is understanding how young people develop a sense of purpose, and how it impacts their everyday experiences and contributes to their long-term development.
Cornell scientists launched aluminum particles, each about 20 micrometers in diameter, onto an aluminum surface at speeds of up to 1,337 meters per second – well beyond the speed of sound – and used high-speed cameras to record the impacts.
Donald Hartill, a professor of physics emeritus in the College of Arts and Sciences and a driving force behind decades of experimental research in particle physics, died on April 16. He was 86.
Researchers identified a likely source of activity in a “zombie” volcano that appeared to be dormant for more than 250,000 years: molten rock releasing gas that pushes against the volcano’s upper crust.
Cornell researchers have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of how a promising catalyst material transforms during operation, providing new insights that could lead to replacement of expensive precious metals in clean-energy technologies.
Researchers developed a low-cost method to produce carbon-free “green” hydrogen via solar-powered electrolysis of seawater, with a helpful byproduct: potable water.
While the particle accelerator buried beneath Cornell’s soccer field typically hums along 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the spring down period offers a rare and essential pause in operations.
