Physicist Dan Ralph, Ph.D. ’93, and materials scientist Darrell Schlom are Cornell’s 2026 electees to the National Academy of Sciences, the academy announced April 28.
New research from a team of scientists led by Cornell is transforming how researchers understand one of the atmosphere’s most abundant and least understood constituents: mineral dust.
Nobel Laureate John M. Martinis will speak about his research in quantum mechanics from 5-6 p.m. April 8 in the Rhodes-Rawlings Auditorium, Room KG70 in Klarman Hall.
Since the early days of modern cosmic exploration, Cornell scientists have led the way, from guiding rovers through the red dust of Mars to searching for other life in the universe; and from modeling exotic stars to detecting the faint ripples of gravitational waves.
Cornell Atkinson has awarded $900k to support six new research projects that seek to protect coral reefs, improve greenhouse agriculture and understand whether wildfires affect disease spread.
Albert R. “Al” George, the John F. Carr Professor of Mechanical Engineering Emeritus known for the race cars and student teams he championed as well as research and academic leadership, died May 6 in Ithaca. George was 88.
A late-night “Eureka” moment, a smashed computer and 17 years of persistence led researchers to achieve what many in microwave electronics had long considered out of reach: a tunable, low energy loss class of dielectric materials.
Lawrence Gibbons, professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, is among the researchers awarded the prestigious physics prize for his muon g-2 collaborations.
For her volunteer outreach encouraging local children to learn about physics and reading, Abra Geiger ’26 has won the 2026 University Relations Campus-Community Leadership Award.
Cornell astronomers are deploying a new instrument that grants them, for the first time, a better view of the universe’s earliest galaxies, which can’t be observed individually with ground- or space-based telescopes.
