A sophomore and a two juniors have won Goldwater Scholarships, the top undergraduate award for students pursuing careers in mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering.
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.
The $40 million, four-story addition will add 30,000 square feet and transform the stone and brick façade, originally built in 1951, into a contemporary glass and metallic exterior.
Understanding the physics behind this mysterious phase transition could lead to new complex microscopic circuits, superconductors and exotic insulators that could find use in quantum computing.
The Bezos Earth Fund grant will support a project developing low-cost virtual livestock fencing that would benefit farmers and animals, improve public health in developing countries and combat climate change.
Using a biomaterials-based organoid, a multi-institution team led by Matt DeLisa of Cornell Engineering was able to assess the strength of the immune response to a glycoengineered vaccine in days, instead of months.
For the first time, astronomers — including Cornell postdoctoral fellow Eileen Gonzales — have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of a planet outside our solar system.
Karina Popovich ’23 is working with female students across Cornell and at universities around the country to empower more young women to imagine themselves as engineers and pursue STEM degrees and careers.
With an eye toward a return to Comet 67P, Cornell astronomers show how smooth terrain – a good place to land spacecraft and scoop samples – develops on the icy world of touring comets.
