An advanced imaging technique developed at Cornell has revealed the first two-dimensional, mechanically interlocked polymer – resembling the links in chainmail - confirming a breakthrough in both material design and electron microscopy.
Don Turcotte, the former Maxwell Upson Professor of Engineering in the Department of Geological Sciences who brought his aeronautic research roots into pioneering collaborations in the study of mantle dynamics and plate tectonics, died Feb. 4 in Davis, California.
Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral structures – or “chiral” materials – producing films with extraordinary light-bending properties.
A supercrystal formation previously unobserved in the thin-film Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 was discovered by a Cornell-led research team, potentially unlocking new ways to engineer materials and devices with tunable electronic properties.
Cornell Engineering-led projects designed to accelerate research into quantum and communications technologies received significant support from the U.S. Department of Defense, officials with the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH) announced.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially improve the sensitivity of quantum sensors and be used in other quantum devices.
Cornell Engineering celebrated excellence in education at its 2024 Fall Faculty Reception, honoring outstanding faculty members and recognizing their contributions by presenting the college’s annual awards for teaching and advising.
Nicola Dell, associate professor at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech, and novelist Ling Ma, MFA ’16, have been awarded 2024 MacArthur Foundation fellowships — more commonly known as “genius grants.”
The College of Arts and Sciences has awarded five New Frontier Grants to cutting edge projects in science, social science and the humanities led by A&S faculty, some with collaborators from other colleges.
Researchers went searching for a quantum spin in the popular semiconductor gallium nitride and found it, surprisingly, in two distinct species of defect.
A consortium organized by Cornell and four other New York-based leaders in semiconductor research and development has been awarded $40 million by the U.S. Department of Defense to advance microelectronics innovation and manufacturing.
