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
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.
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.
Julius Lucks, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, and Marco Seandel, assistant professor of cell and developmental biology in surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, are NIH "New Innovators."
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.
Cornell's Michael Shuler has received National Institutes of Health funding to make 3-D chips with living cells and tissues that model the structure and function of human organs. (Aug. 27, 2012)
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 physicists can now control with precision how the particles in viscous liquids swirl, twirl and whirl. Think of adding cream to coffee - and managing the cream stream.
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.
Cornell engineers have found that firing up diesel backup generators in non-emergency situations triggers rising atmospheric ozone concentrations due to additional nitrogen oxide emissions.
