Kathryn Boor ’80, dean of the Graduate School and vice provost for graduate education, has announced her plans to step down following the completion of her term on June 30, 2025.
Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral structures – or “chiral” materials – producing films with extraordinary light-bending properties.
A Cornell chemist has created an alternative to unrecyclable, plastic-based thermosets by making a bio-sourced material that has crosslinked thermosets’ durability and malleability but can be easily recycled and degraded.
Judy Cha, Ph.D. ’09, professor of materials science and engineering in Cornell Engineering, and Yuval Grossman, professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, have been elected as fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).
A tiny eukaryotic organism provided inspiration for modeling “traveling networks” – connected systems that move by rearranging their structure. Understanding these networks may help explain the behavior of certain biological systems and human organizations.
Robert (Bobby) Pohl, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Physics Emeritus in the College of Arts and Sciences, died Aug. 30 in Göttingen, Germany. He was 94.
A Cornell-led research team has developed a method for extracting gold from electronics waste, then using the recovered precious metal as a catalyst for converting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to organic materials.
The project aligns with Cornell Atkinson's core mission of supporting research that drives meaningful impact across public opinion, policy, and corporate practices.
