When Jeff Fearn ‘82 heard about the Center for Teaching Innovation's Thank a Professor program, he decided to thank Roald Hoffmann, Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor, Emeritus for his impact on his life and career – forty years later.
Researchers created a new technique to treat Type 1 diabetes: implanting a device inside a pocket under the skin that can secrete insulin while avoiding the immunosuppression that typically stymies management of the disease.
The Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) is set to host the Pan American Light Sources for Agriculture conference (PALSA) July 11-14. Registration is still open.
Researchers have demonstrated the use of artificial-intelligence-selected natural images and AI-generated synthetic images as neuroscientific tools for probing the visual processing areas of the brain.
Using a precisely tuned, ultrafast laser, a Cornell researcher showed that the atomic structure of yttrium titanate could be changed to stabilize its magnetism at temperatures three times higher than was previously possible.
In two new papers, an international collaboration of researchers including Cornell physicists explain, on the microscopic level, why “Planckian” scattering of electrons occurs in some materials but not in others.
Convening of 80 leaders, researchers and staff across six colleges discussed strategies to address climate change mitigation, adaptation and societal transformation, in a Feb. 1 roundtable sponsored by The 2030 Project.
Chromium hydride, a molecule that’s relatively rare and particularly sensitive to temperature, is useful as a “thermometer for stars,” according to astronomer Laura Flagg in published research.
Assistant professor Amal El-Ghazaly received an NSF CAREER Award for research that could ultimately make next-generation wireless systems more accessible worldwide.
To prepare for extreme heat waves around the world, running climate-simulation models that include a new, efficient computing concept may save tens of thousands of lives.
