Cornell Engineering held its second annual EPICC Awards ceremony on Oct. 10, celebrating both staff and faculty whose work exemplifies the college’s core values: excellence, purpose, innovation, community, and collaboration.
Noah Stephens-Davidowitz, assistant professor of computer science at Cornell Bowers CIS, has been named a Packard Foundation Fellow for his work in theoretical computer science and cryptography.
The Cornell Center for Social Sciences has moved into a newly renovated, 2,500-square-foot space on the second floor of Clark Hall, which will serve as a hub for the social sciences on campus.
Researchers developed a more controlled way of making nickelates, a material that could potentially help pinpoint the key qualities that enable high-temperature superconductivity.
Physicist Kin Fai Mak has received a $1.25 million grant from the Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigators Initiative to further his research into electron behaviors by studying two-dimensional crystals.
Cornell researchers have revealed the intricate nanotextures in thin-film materials, offering scientists a new, streamlined approach to analyzing potential candidates for quantum computing and microelectronics, among other applications.
A quantum physicist and an environmental economist have been appointed the newest A.D. White Professors-at-Large, and five returning professors will visit campus this fall.
Using a precisely tuned, ultrafast laser, a Cornell researcher showed that the atomic structure of yttrium titanate could be changed to stabilize its magnetism at temperatures three times higher than was previously possible.
NSF Director Neal Lane, top researchers in the field will give talks Neal Lane, director of the National Science Foundation and a physicist by training, will be among the key speakers at the 50th anniversary celebration of Cornell University’s School of Applied and Engineering Physics on Sept. 20 and 21.
Ten exceptional early-career scholars will join the College of Arts and Sciences this year as recipients of Klarman Postdoctoral Fellowships, enabling them to pursue leading-edge research in the sciences, social sciences and humanities.
Using a Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Peter McMahon, assistant professor of applied and engineering physics, aims to harness the power of photonics to build processors for neural networks that are more than 1,000 times more energy efficient.
