With the appointment of an expert in engineering education, the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility brings strategic focus to preparing engineers and engineers-in-training for careers in nanoscience and microchip manufacturing.
The two-year contract extension for the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regional hub networks, based at Cornell University and Purdue University respectively, signals AFRL’s commitment to supporting the Hub Networks and the critical connections they have enabled within less than two years of operating.
Clues about life on exoplanets could be as strange as a bioluminescent glow or a rainbow hue, astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger describes in her new book, “Alien Earths: The New Science of Planet Hunting in the Cosmos.”
Cornell engineers have refined a model that not only cultivates green energy, but concurrently desalinates ocean water for large, drought-stricken coastal populations.
A consortium organized by Cornell and four other New York-based leaders in semiconductor research and development has been awarded $40 million by the U.S. Department of Defense to advance microelectronics innovation and manufacturing.
Astrophysicist Wendy L. Freedman will describe the current state of cosmology and her work with the Hubble Space Telescope that has led to some of the most precise measurements of the Hubble constant made to date.
Decades before any probe dips a toe – and thermometer – into the waters of distant ocean worlds, Cornell astrobiologists have devised a way to determine ocean temperatures based on the thickness of their ice shells, effectively conducting oceanography from space.
“I think the question that drives SETI’s work is one innate to the human species – seeking to prove that we are not alone in the universe,” said Ze-Wen Koh '23.
A Cornell collaboration developed a model to simulate the atmospheric transport of microplastic fibers and found that their shape plays a crucial role in how far they travel.
Jack Freed, the Frank and Robert Laughlin Professor of Physical Chemistry Emeritus, has received two grants totaling $7.8 million from the National Institutes of Health to use electron-spin resonance for the benefit of public health.
