“Quantum Physics of Semiconductor Materials and Devices” authored by Professor Debdeep Jena, molds scientific subjects such as quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism, all under the umbrella of the semiconductor materials and devices that have become ubiquitous in daily life.
The FIFA World Cup begins Nov. 20 in Qatar, and Cornell Engineering is partnering with the Afghan Dreamers all-girls robotics team in an effort to harness this energy – and inspire young people to dream big, in both soccer and STEM learning.
As NASA released its first images from the new James Webb Space Telescope – the next-generation telescope able to peer deeper into the cosmos – Cornell faculty marked the milestone.
The team created and tested a new imaging approach which integrates information about where objects might be located with sonar processing algorithms that decide the optimal views.
The algorithms are unique in that they take a holistic approach to action anticipation, combining visual data – where an athlete is located on the court – with information like an athlete’s specific role on the team.
Cornell professor Robert Howarth advised New York state senators last week to downsize the state’s natural gas pipeline system and to repeal laws that easily connect gas to new homes.
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.
Halomine and Inso Biosciences – both from Cornell incubators – have received $3 million in New York state grants to help thwart disease outbreaks and expand the state’s life science industries.
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.
As surveying the cosmos for the new James Webb Space Telescope gets hot, Cornell researchers have modeled and synthesized lava in order to discover far-away, volcanic exoplanets.
