Researchers devised a new method to image intact bacterial cells and large organelle up to 500-800 nanometers thick – a roughly fivefold improvement over current methods.
At their spring banquet, students in the Robert S. Harrison College Scholar Program hear from a speaker who helps foster creative and critical thinking skills.
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.
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.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers determined that organic residues of plant oils are poorly preserved in calcareous soils from the Mediterranean, leading decades of archaeologists to likely misidentify olive oil in ceramic artifacts.
Sionic Energy, a leader in electrolyte and silicon battery technology, has been awarded a $200,000 SuperBoost grant from the NSF Energy Storage Engine in Upstate New York.
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.
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.
Pursuing research in sciences, social sciences, and humanities, the incoming Fellows will be the sixth cohort since the program was launched in 2019 with a major gift from Seth Klarman ’79 and Beth Schultz Klarman.
