With high-speed cameras, researchers measured the physical forces involved in a handclap, with potential applications in bioacoustics and identification, whereby a handclap could be used to identify someone.
Donald Hartill, a professor of physics emeritus in the College of Arts and Sciences and a driving force behind decades of experimental research in particle physics, died on April 16. He was 86.
Researchers identified a likely source of activity in a “zombie” volcano that appeared to be dormant for more than 250,000 years: molten rock releasing gas that pushes against the volcano’s upper crust.
The executive order was the result of an intensive monthslong review by the Biden administration of hacking by criminals and foreign governments during the past four years.
A research team led by Cornell has demonstrated how quantum computing and artificial intelligence can be used to design new peptides capable of capturing microplastics that pose serious risks to ecosystems and human health.
A Cornell-led collaboration devised a new method for designing metals and alloys that can withstand extreme impacts: introducing nanometer-scale speed bumps that suppress a fundamental transition that controls how metallic materials deform.
While the particle accelerator buried beneath Cornell’s soccer field typically hums along 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the spring down period offers a rare and essential pause in operations.
Researchers studying novel traits in organisms and the fundamental understanding of extreme weather are among the five Cornell assistant professors who've received National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Awards.
