Cornell’s NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF) convened researchers, industry partners, and national collaborators for its 2025 Annual Meeting on November 18, highlighting advances across photonics, quantum devices, semiconductor fabrication, sustainability, and life sciences.
In a new book, Donald Campbell, Ph.D. ’71, professor emeritus of astronomy, recounts the history of Arecibo from construction to its last days under Cornell’s management in 2011.
Researchers discovered that DNA packaging structures called nucleosomes, which have been traditionally seen as roadblocks for gene expression, actually help reduce torsional stress in DNA strands and facilitate genetic information decoding.
Using time-delay snapshots, researchers led by mathematician Yunan Yang have introduced a new way to identify the underlying dynamics of unpredictable systems, such as the atmosphere and turbulent fluids.
Researchers in Cornell’s Matter of Tech Lab have developed CeraPiper, a fabrication system that creates customized sizes and shapes of ceramic pipes that can be fitted together and filled with water for environmentally friendly evaporative cooling.
Cornell researchers have developed a new transistor architecture that could reshape how high-power wireless electronics are engineered, while also addressing supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical semiconductor material.
The president of the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation will present Abruña with the award in a 4 p.m. ceremony in the Meshri Family Auditorium, Baker Laboratory Room 200 and also livestreamed.
Tianyi Chen is pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence by asking a pressing question: What if AI could be engineered not just to optimize for a single outcome, but to make smarter, more balanced decisions — much like humans do?
