An interdisciplinary research team received a five-year, $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a new generation of biosynthetic lubricants that have the potential to treat arthritis and reduce the painful friction of artificial joints.
A $2.5 million grant will fund 13 research projects across the sciences, social sciences and humanities for novel investigations ranging from quantum computing to foreign policy development and from heritage forensics to effects of climate change.
A Cornell analysis finds telescopes could better detect potential chemical signatures of life in an Earth-like exoplanet that more closely resembles the age the dinosaurs inhabited than the one we know today.
Cornell researchers attached large fragments to temperamental "radical" molecules, increasing their girth to insulate them from their hyperreactive partners – a method that could help create improved derivatives of pharmaceutical compounds.
Twenty seniors in the Milstein Program in Technology & Humanity will graduate this year with degrees in everything from biology to linguistics to computer science to physics.
Eleven teaching faculty from across the university have been awarded Cornell’s highest honors for graduate and undergraduate teaching, Interim President Michael I. Kotlikoff announced Oct. 22.
Eun-Ah Kim, professor of physics, and Google researchers report the first demonstration of two-dimensional particles, called non-Abelian anyons, that are the key ingredient for realizing topological quantum computing, a promising method of introducing fault resistance to quantum computing.
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.
