A Cornell-led collaboration harnessed chemical reactions to make microscale origami machines self-fold – freeing them from the liquids in which they usually function, so they can operate in dry environments and at room temperature.
In the Spring 2022 Hans Bethe Lecture, physicist John Martinis will explain the basic concepts behind quantum computing, show recent data from a “quantum supremacy” experiment and explain future uses of quantum algorithms.
Cornell researchers discovered that colors can help quantify the way energy moves through a specific type of crystal, in which light-sensitive molecules are arranged.
The Cornell chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers is celebrating Black History Month with a variety of events expected to be well attended thanks to the student organization’s recent efforts to boost membership and revitalize its programming.
A recently discovered exoplanet may provide insights about conditions at the inner edge of a star’s habitable zone, and why Earth and Venus developed so differently, according to new astronomy research led by Lisa Kaltenegger.
Cornell scientists have unearthed precise, microscopic clues to where magma is stored in Earth’s mantle, offering scientists – and government officials – a way to gauge volcanic eruption risk.
After successfully launching small spacecraft out of a novel suborbital accelerator, Cornell Engineering faculty and students may have exciting new opportunities to expand research and exploration of ChipSats.
A synthetic biosensor that mimics properties found in cell membranes and provides an electronic readout of activity could lead to development of new drugs and the creation of sensory organs on a chip.
The 2023 Kessler Fellows have accepted internships and will spend the summer gaining firsthand entrepreneurial experience. This year’s fellows are working at startups located from Ithaca to Beijing.
Cornell researchers constructed a simple model containing exotic particles called non-Abelian anyons, compact and practical enough to run on modern quantum hardware.
