An interdisciplinary collaboration used a materials science approach to “fingerprint” calcium mineral deposits that reveal pathological clues to the progression of breast cancer and potentially other diseases.
An experiment on the International Space Station has given Cornell researchers fresh insight into the ways that water droplets oscillate and spread across solid surfaces.
John A. Swanson ’61, M.Eng. ’63, an innovator in the application of finite-element methods of engineering, will be honored with the 2021 Cornell Engineering Distinguished Alumni Award.
Ray Jayawardhana, the Harold Tanner Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has been appointed to a second five-year term, beginning July 1, 2023, and named the Hans A. Bethe Professor, an appointment that begins July 1, 2022.
Researchers developed porous, sponge-like materials that can trap carbon dioxide – a potentially low-cost approach for limiting the environmental damage of coal-fired power plants.
Researchers have discovered a new path for polystyrene, a type of plastic that makes up a third of landfill waste worldwide, that includes being upcycled into benzoic acid - a chemical with wide commercial demand.
The newest cohort of Ph.D. candidates in Cornell Engineering's Commercialization Fellowship will spend the remainder of the year learning the skills and tools to bring their technologies to market.
A Cornell research scientist used ground-penetrating radar and AI modeling to locate the communal graves of approximately 93 victims of the Spanish influenza at Pilgrim Hot Springs in Alaska.
Cornell engineers have created a deep-ultraviolet laser using semiconductor materials that show great promise for improving the use of ultraviolet light for sterilizing medical tools, purifying water and sensing hazardous gases.
