Alumnus and former College of Engineering dean Edmund T. Cranch, who left Cornell to become president of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, died Feb. 4 at age 91.
New data from NASA’s Cassini mission reveals that Saturn’s bulging core and twisting gravitational forces offer clues to the ages of the planet’s moons. The moons are younger than previously thought.
A cross-campus collaboration led by materials science professor Uli Wiesner results in visual confirmation of 12-sided, nanoscale cage structures, which could have medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
The astronomical meets gastronomical: While it resembles a chestnut or ravioli, the new Cassini spacecraft portrait of this extraterrestrial Rorschach is Saturn's small moon, Pan.
Two students from engineering, one from chemistry and one from physics are among 252 nationwide to be named Goldwater Scholars for achievement in mathematics, science and engineering
Students teach students and make many of the key decisions in AguaClara, a program that for more than a decade has helped communities in Honduras have potable running water.
A Cornell multidisciplinary team devised a way to get a "time-lapse" look at the early formation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles, from six-sided crystals all the way to 12-sided quasicrystals.
A Cornell-led research team has proposed a way to measure the forces between the particles that surround defects in colloidal crystals, which could help predict the behavior of materials under stress.
A five-year, $20 million National Science Foundation grant will allow chemists from Cornell and other institutions to study new ways to make plastics more sustainable.
