Christopher K. Ober, professor of materials science and engineering, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, among the highest professional distinctions for an engineer.
The Cornell Tree-Ring Laboratory identified the likeliest timeline of the Hellenistic-era ship's sinking as between 296-271 BCE, with a strong probability it occurred between 286-272 BCE.
Cornell researchers have developed an optical neural network that can filter relevant information from a scene before the visual image is detected by a camera, a method that may make it possible to build faster, smaller and more energy-efficient image sensors.
Researchers have developed collectives of microrobots - each slightly larger than a hair's width - capable of reconfiguring their swarm behavior to move in circles, bunch up into a clump, spread out like gas or form a straight line like beads on a string.
An interdisciplinary Cornell team has identified a new mechanism regulating tumor growth in the skeleton, the primary site of breast cancer metastasis: mineralization of the bone matrix.
Cornell researchers used magnetic imaging to obtain the first direct visualization of how electrons flow in quantum anomalous Hall insulators, and by doing so they discovered the transport current moves through the interior of the material.
Robert Langer ’70, whose pioneering work in biotechnology, drug delivery and tissue engineering has made him one of the most prolific inventors in medicine, received the Cornell Engineering Distinguished Alumni Award during a celebration hosted April 19.
NASA's Europa Clipper mission blasted off to the moon of Jupiter on Oct. 14. Cornell researchers will help determine if the ocean world could support life.
Through their work on the dynamics of liquid mixtures, scientists have developed a new approach to the problem of cleaning sensitive, electronic surfaces.
