Cornell scientists have achieved a "Holy Grail" of materials science -- pure, single crystal growth of any film on a semiconductor substrate, a technique that holds promise to revolutionize electronics.
Jessica Ye '12 and Sophia Porrino '11 have received 2010 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships, which cover tuition, fees, books, and room and board up to $7,500 per year. (April 8, 2010)
'Global Development and Terrorism: Related Topics?' is the title of a Cornell forum that will attempt to identify the key issues in U.S. foreign policy and global affairs.
A new understanding of how large biological molecules behave in tiny spaces could lead to a method for separating DNA strands by length. It also could throw light on the way molecules move in living cells. Using a forest of nanofabricated pillars so small that DNA molecules can only slip through lengthwise, Cornell University researchers have demonstrated the existence of an entropic recoil force that causes the molecules to move from a tight space into a more open one.

A woman driving a white minivan pulled up to the information booth on Hoy Road at Cornell and rolled down her window.
"I'm trying to get to Bartels Hall to register," she said, slightly breathless. Her husband in sunglasses sat…
Taking precautions to ensure that the cloven-hoofed animals at Cornell remain safe from foot-and-mouth disease, the Department of Animal Science has implemented a ban on guest visits to two animal research facilities.
The Northeast shivered its way through the eighth coldest November for the region in 102 years of record, according to climatologists from the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University. The average temperature for the 12-state region was 34.6 degrees -- 4.7 degrees colder than normal. The record is 32.8 degrees, set in 1901.
Teams of Cornell computer science students took both first and second place in the Association for Computing Machinery Greater New York Regional Programming Contest held Nov. 7 at the United States Military Academy, West Point, N.Y.
