Robert (Bobby) Pohl, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Physics Emeritus in the College of Arts and Sciences, died Aug. 30 in Göttingen, Germany. He was 94.
Students in Hua Wang’s Engineering Communications course learned how to translate and describe their expertise with different audiences who may not understand what engineers do.
Cornell scientists are developing a library of basalt-based spectral signatures that not only will help reveal the composition of planets outside of our solar system, but also could demonstrate evidence of water on those exoplanets.
Cornell researchers are part of a project to enable sustainable hardware for AI and quantum computing, one of 11 projects selected by DOE to receive a total of $73 million.
A Cornell-led team will use a $2 million National Science Foundation grant to develop a “microbe-mineral atlas,” a catalog of microorganisms and how they interact with minerals, key for mining critical metals used for generating sustainable energy.
The study paves the way for using the novel manufacturing process and quality controls to move cell therapy production further along toward applying it in a clinic.
Cornell faculty members Ailong Ke, David Shmoys and Martin T. Wells have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest general scientific society.
A materials science and engineering student and his professor devised a low-cost, DIY way to increase the lifespan and efficiency of commercial photovoltaic modules: by lowering the panel’s operating temperature with phase-change materials.
The research shows how changes in salinity may affect life in aquatic habitats on Earth and widens the possibilities for where life may be found throughout our solar system.
