Cornell researchers have found that peaceful microbes are more likely to thrive, and their more aggressive peers perish, if their environment is harsh or experiences violent disruptions.
The Center for Teaching Innovation will host “What Works,” on Oct. 1, featuring presentations, the Canvas Course Spotlight awardees, and a poster showcase that will demonstrate engaged learning approaches from Cornell faculty teaching in a diverse range of courses and fields.
With support from Cornell’s research and testing facilities, deep-tech company AVS US – with facilities just outside Ithaca – successfully launched two spacecraft aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on June 23
Cornell’s Steel Bridge Team excelled in the 2024 AISC competition with a 216-pound bridge that supported 2,500 pounds, placing first in lightness. Key to their success was access to the LASSP Student Machine Shop, where expert support and flexible hours enabled fast, high-quality fabrication and extra time for testing and refinement.
In a new study, researchers detail their novel approach for both detecting and controlling the motion of spins within antiferromagnets using 2D antiferromagnetic materials and tunnel junctions, which could lead to ultra-fast information transfer and communications at much higher frequencies.
Phenomena common to Earth’s atmosphere can appear in the skies over some exoplanets of the “hot Jupiter” variety, a common type of gaseous giant that always orbits close to its host star, according to new research.
Cornell researchers have been building decision-support tools, optimization methods and artificial intelligence approaches to help the U.S. Navy and Marines quickly and effectively transport people and supplies – including blood for transfusions – in the event of an overseas conflict or humanitarian disaster.
Scientists have discovered a way to convert fluctuating lasers into remarkably stable beams that defy classical physics, opening new doors for photonic technologies that rely on both high power and high precision.
Cornell chemistry and chemical biology researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells — using the cells’ own components as built-in sensors.
