A $683,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture will support a project aimed at integrating the power of computer simulation with the teaching of food safety principles.
Forty-three high school juniors and seniors teamed up remotely from July 19-23 to build an interconnected system of hardware and software as part of Cornell Engineering’s annual CURIE Academy.
Cornell data scientists are developing models and mathematical techniques to address the world’s most vexing problems, from public health crises to climate change.
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.
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 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.
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.
Poul B. Petersen, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology, has received a National Science Foundation Early Career Development Award. (Aug. 9, 2012)
A Cornell-led team has devised a method for measuring the mechanical force cells exert on their surroundings, which can help scientists design better biomaterial scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Researchers have devised a method of two-way radio communication that puts the separation of the transmitting and receiving signals all on a single transceiver chip.
