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.
Researchers have made a breakthrough in nonvolatile memory and instant-on computing with a working, room-temperature memory device that switches with an electric field.
Experts in cancer biology and nanotechnology will discuss problems in the clinical and basic science of cancer, and will showcase nanotechnology advances that have led to breakthroughs in research and treatment. (Sept. 15, 2008)
Squinting close to the beginning of time, Dominik Riechers, Cornell assistant professor of astronomy, has discovered an association of gas-rich galaxies near the infancy of cosmic time. It’s an early epoch – some 12.7 billion years ago – telling a tale that revolves around an exceptionally dusty galaxy called AzTEC-3.
'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.
