Superconductivity and magnetism tend not to coexist, but theoretical physicists at Cornell have engineered a system in which these conflicting properties are believed to put aside their differences.
Researchers have devised a theoretical method for turning a class of ceramic materials called perovskites into a material that's ferroelectric, which could lead to better engineered materials. (April 11, 2012)
Two professors disagreed with a war veteran over what the United States should do next in Afghanistan. Their roundtable discussion took place Jan. 31 in the A.D. White House. (Feb. 2, 2011)
For 55 years, biophysicist George Hess has been teaching, running a research lab and mentoring students. On April 18, colleagues will celebrate his work and career with an academic seminar. (April 9, 2012)
If you want to see the future of technology, look at what today's students are inventing. An array of examples was on display April 3 at the annual BOOM (Bits on Our Minds) exhibition in the Duffield Atrium.
'Nanomembrane' sheets embedded with tiny iron oxide particles can help clean toxic chemicals from water. Cornell researchers are evaluating the tech to reduce human health and environmental concerns.
The President's Council of Cornell Women's Affinito-Stewart Grants Program has awarded research grants to seven assistant professors to help them complete research important in their tenure process.
A Cornell multi-site research team has developed a chemical compound that shows promise as a oncoprotein inhibitor with broad anti-cancer activity and little effect on non-cancerous cells.
