A skirt to be showcased at Vancouver Fashion Week was directly inspired by Cornell physics research on using origami to tailor the mechanical properties of materials.
Using low-amplitude vibration, researchers show the ability to control the flow rate of a dense liquid. This discovery has potential applications in advanced technology fields, including 3-D printing.
A group led by physics professor Paul McEuen reports clear visualization of excitons in bilayer graphene, the unique properties of which make the material of potential interest in the development of optoelectronic devices.
Emeritus professor Stanley Zahler, whose work during his 35-year Cornell career left a lasting imprint on the teaching of microbial genetics at the university, died April 26 in California. He was 89 years old.
A group led by assistant professor Justin Wilson has developed a binding molecule that could improve targeted alpha-particle therapy - injected radiation treatment - for prostate cancer patients.
A mile-long asteroid that raced past Earth July 25 at about 45,000 miles per hour was imaged by radar telescopes so that astronomers like Cornell's Sean Marshall could discern its precise orbit and physical shape.
A pair of massive, hyper-luminous galaxies, discovered by a Cornell professor and a graduate student, are merging in front of astronomer’s eyes for the first time and revealing secrets of cosmic creation.
Striving for a future with smaller electric bills and a diminished need for more power plants, the NSF has awarded Cornell researchers $1 million to improve new residential electric storage systems.
