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.
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.
REEgen, a Cornell spinout focused on rare earth element (REE) recovery, won the $150,000 grand prize at the 2025 FuzeHub Commercialization Competition, held at the New York State Innovation Summit on Oct. 29-30.
An international collaboration led by Cornell researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to map how – and where – the psychedelic compound rewires the connections in the brain.
To equip astronauts with health choices for future missions, a Cornell postdoctoral fellow is leading research with AstroCup, a group that recently tested two menstrual cups in spaceflight as payload on an uncrewed rocket flight.
Electrons can be elusive, but Cornell researchers using a new computational method can now account for where they go – or don’t go – in certain layered materials.
Prof. Coates is being recognized “for transformative work at the interface of chemical catalyst design and polymer science, leading to novel ways of making biodegradable and recyclable plastics.”
