A group of international scientists led by Cornell is evaluating how the stratosphere could be made just a little bit brighter, reflecting more sunlight so that Earth maintains its cool.
Cornell Botanic Gardens has acquired 81 acres adjacent to the Fischer Old-growth Forest natural area in Newfield, New York, to further protect some of the county’s most mature trees – some of them 300 years old.
A report co-authored by a Cornell researcher will help to steer the emerging field of multi-sector dynamics, shaping a strategy for the greater scientific community to better project the outcomes of human interactions with the natural world.
Associate Professor Greg McLaskey ’05 and members of his Cornell Engineering research group have developed a method for mimicking aftershocks, findings that eventually could help scientists better predict earthquakes.
Edward Dean Wolf, a pioneer in nanofabrication who joined Cornell in 1978 as the first director of what would become the Cornell Nanoscale Science and Technology Facility, died March 11 in Ithaca. He was 87.
A collaboration including Cornell astrophysicists has found the first evidence of low-frequency gravitational waves believed to be generated by merging pairs of supermassive black holes.
Ph.D. student Ekaterina Landgren has received a 2021 Zonta Amelia Earhart Fellowship. The program recognizes women pursuing doctoral degrees in aerospace engineering and space sciences.
A group of Cornell geologists – known as the Cornell Andes Project – came together in early June to celebrate 40 years of research in South America and their collective success in advancing the understanding of plate tectonics.
Researchers designed a new system of fluid-driven actuators that enable soft robots to achieve more complex motions, leveraging the very thing – viscosity – that had previously stymied their movement.
