The commitment, the largest in Cornell Engineering’s history, from David A. Duffield ’62, MBA ’64, will significantly expand the college’s existing Duffield Hall, creating a new state-of-the-art home for the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Cornell researchers have discovered a way for ammonia oxidizing archaea, one of the most abundant types of microorganisms on Earth, to produce nitrous oxide, a potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas.
Project teams in Rev: Ithaca's Prototyping Hardware Accelerator will present their ideas – from AI cocktail generators to plastic recycling machines - at Demo Day on July 31.
Microscopic machines engineered by Cornell researchers can autonomously synchronize their movements, opening new possibilities for the use of microrobots in drug delivery, chemical mixing and environmental remediation, among other applications.
Anna Ho, assistant professor of astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been named a Packard Fellow for Science and Engineering. The fellowship includes $875,000 in unrestricted funds to be used for research over five years.
The shipping industry dramatically cut sulfur emissions, resulting in diminished cloud cover over the oceans. This caused a global temperature spike in 2023.
A tiny eukaryotic organism provided inspiration for modeling “traveling networks” – connected systems that move by rearranging their structure. Understanding these networks may help explain the behavior of certain biological systems and human organizations.
The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope will be loaded onto a transatlantic shipping vessel in Antwerp, Belgium, at the end of January for a month-long voyage by sea to its home in Chile. It will become the second-highest telescope in the world.
The White House has recognized six Cornell faculty members, three from the Ithaca campus and three from Weill Cornell Medicine, with 2025 Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers. The awards were announced Jan. 14.
