A group led by chemistry professor Peng Chen reports the first quantitative visualization of enhanced catalysis activity at the metal-metal interface of a single-molecule bimetallic nanocatalyst.
Cornell chemists have uncovered a fresh role for nitric oxide that could send biochemical textbooks back for revision. They have identified a key step in the nitrification process, which contributes to global warming.
Using an algorithm developed by Cornell physicist Veit Elser, a group led by colleague Sol Gruner has determined the protein structure of a microcrystal using discarded data from another group.
Cornell biological engineers have deciphered the cellular strategy to make the biofuel ethanol, using an anaerobic microbe feeding on carbon monoxide – a common industrial waste gas.
The lab of Yimon Aye, assistant professor of chemistry, has developed a new genome-wide method for identifying and analyzing proteins that could be suitable targets for drug delivery.
Frank Wise, the Samuel B. Eckert Professor of Engineering, is the new director of the Cornell Center for Materials Research, replacing Melissa Hines, who held the post for 12 years.
Professor of physics Peter Lepage has won the$10,000 J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics for his inventive applications of quantum field theory to particle physics.
A team of Cornell researchers have found new complexities in the superfluid state of liquid helium with implications for the study of superconductivity and theoretical models of the origin of the universe.
A group led by applied and engineering physics professor David Muller has achieved a record for electron microscopy resolution, using a device developed at Cornell by professor Sol Gruner.
