A Cornell research group has developed a cyclodextrin-based fibrous membrane that in lab testing removed approximately 90% of aqueous triclosan, an antibacterial agent that poses a threat to aquatic organisms.
Using a Cornell-built instrument and Cornell-built high-speed detector, a team of researchers captured atomically thin materials responding to light with a dynamic twisting motion.
Cornell professors are sharing what they’ve learned about best practices in physics labs with physics faculty and instructors nationwide through The Introductory Physics Lab Institute.
Nobel Laureate Jack Szostak, Ph.D. ’77, shared decades of research into one of biology’s most puzzling mysteries to a crowded room Oct. 9 during the 2025 Ef Racker Lecture.
Researchers used advanced data analytics to create a state-by-state look at that environmental impact of the AI boom and how to make the computing infrastructure that supports it more sustainable.
Tracking heart and lung health without wires or electrodes could be a game-changer for home care, assisted living or for patients who resist traditional wearables.
Scott Emr, the Samuel C. and Nancy M. Fleming Professor Emeritus in the College of Arts and Sciences, has won the World Laureate Association Prize, one of the world’s highest-funded scientific awards.
Astronomers have generated the first three-dimensional map of a planet orbiting another star, revealing an atmosphere with distinct temperature zones – one so scorching that it breaks down water vapor, a team co-led by a Cornell expert reports in new research.
Newly published digital collections at Cornell University Library explore areas of Cornell history. Freely accessible online, the three new collections were digitized from materials held in Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections.
Researchers are using 3D printing to custom build high-efficiency, low-cost electric rockets that, combined with novel propellants, will keep small satellites in low Earth orbit.
