Undergraduates from across the country are spending several weeks at Cornell this summer researching topics in accelerator physics or X-ray science thanks to two programs funded by the National Science Foundation.
Michael R. King, associate professor of biomedical engineering, is editor-in-chief of a new scientific journal focused on nanotubes, nanorods and nanowires applied to medicine and biology. (March 12, 2012)
Using an airplane to detect greenhouse emissions emanating from freshly drilled shale gas wells in Pennsylvania’s Marcellus basin, Cornell and Purdue scientists have found that leaked methane is more of a problem than previously thought.
The wave-like behavior observed in electron cloud fluctuations challenges the widely held belief that van der Waals interactions, ubiquitous in the natural world, are particle-like in nature.
On July 4, the veil over Jupiter's mysteries will be ripped away with the arrival of NASA’s Juno mission, and Cornell's Jonathan Lunine will be there to watch it happen.
Cornell researchers display the ability to control vibration amplitudes of the wonder-material graphene, paving the way for its use in applications such as frequency mixers.
Researchers have found that irradiation of material creates nanometer-sized defects that trap swirling eddies in the flow of electrons, keeping them out of the way so more current can flow through superconductors.
