Physicist Kin Fai Mak has received a $1.25 million grant from the Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigators Initiative to further his research into electron behaviors by studying two-dimensional crystals.
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.
The Kessler Fellows program has welcomed a record 20 students to its 2023 cohort. The group will spend the spring semester learning entrepreneurial basics in preparation for a fully funded summer internship at a startup.
Cornell is breaking new ground in electron beam research with the HERACLES beamline, a state-of-the-art electron gun in Newman Lab that mimics the harsh environments of the world’s largest particle colliders.
As automobile electrification speeds up, the world faces a need for critical metals to make these vehicles possible, with high demand setting off economic snags and supply-chain hitches.
When wildfires draped smoke over New York this summer, nearly half of its counties lacked data on air quality. Cornell has led an effort to install sensors in places where there were none.
Researchers studying the formation of the Earth’s crust and wearable technology for daily-life applications are among those at Cornell who recently received National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Awards.
A Cornell team is playing a key role in the Muon g-2 Collaboration by designing some of the technology that captures the muon data, and helping to radically improve the precision of the measurements.
Current instrumentation being sent to Mars to collect and analyze evidence of ancient life on the red planet might not be sensitive enough to make accurate assessments, according to an international research team co-led by a Cornell astronomer.
A new method for analyzing protein crystals – developed by Cornell researchers and given a funky two-part name – could open up applications for new drug discovery and other areas of biotechnology and biochemistry.
