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.
A research team led by Eve Donnelly, assistant professor in materials science and engineering, has published a study regarding a dangerous side effect of long-term use of bisphosphonates to treat osteoporosis.
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.
The NSF has awarded Cornell $2.7 million to acquire a cryogenic, aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope. The microscope could revolutionize research in biology, physics and materials science
At the Sept. 10 Faculty Senate meeting, the Climate Neutrality Acceleration Working Group presented its proposal to change the university’s climate neutrality target date to 2035 from 2050.
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.
An experiment in partnership with Con Edison this summer has shown that consumers might be willing to back off on their demand for electricity if there’s a game of chance involved.
Researchers have calculated the value of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and muon to the most precise degree known to physics. (Sept. 10, 2012)
Cornell scientists have made an RNA-only "on" switch to control gene expression – a breakthrough that could revolutionize genetic engineering. The switch is called Small Transcription Activating RNAs, or STARs.
