More than $520 million in contributions from David A. Duffield ’62, MBA ’64 – including a new pledge of $371.5 million and a 2025 commitment of $100 million, combined with previous gifts – will establish the Cornell David A. Duffield College of Engineering.
Through rapid prototyping and creative experimentation, Harald and his students explore how emerging technologies can reshape the way we interact with both digital and physical environments.
The founders of MathGPT are featured on the January episode of the Startup Cornell podcast.
Researchers review climate intervention strategies to cut emissions and improve oceanic health.
Tasked with studying exoplanet systems around small stars, the refrigerator-sized satellite is the first in NASA’s Astrophysics Pioneers program – small-scale missions designed to train early-career scientists, including Trevor Foote, Ph.D. ’24, a former member of the research group led by faculty member Nikole Lewis.
Smaller grains – the microscopic crystal regions within the material – normally make metal stronger, but when deformed at extreme speeds, this rule flips and metals with very small grains actually become softer, new Cornell research reveals.
With the 2026 Newton Lacy Pierce Prize, the American Astronomical Society recognizes Anna Y. Q. Ho’s pioneering investigations of extreme explosions powered by stellar death.
A class of ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles developed at Cornell is showing an unexpected ability to rally the immune system against melanoma and dramatically improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy.
Behind a world-leading telescope bound for Chile is a team of engineers, machinists, electronics specialists and riggers at Cornell. Meet the specialized staff whose expertise is helping push cosmology to new frontiers.
Mészáros’ research focuses on algebraic and geometric combinatorics.
An international research expedition involving Cornell has uncovered new details as to why a 2011 earthquake northeast of Japan behaved so unusually as it lifted the seafloor and produced a tsunami that devastated coastal communities.
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.
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine recently discovered that low levels of folate, a B vitamin essential for cell growth, can trigger specific genetic changes found in several human cancers, including lung tumors.
The new method, Semi-Local Density Fingerprints (SLDFs), can predict molecular properties with up to 100 times more accuracy than the current most popular method for modeling molecules and materials.
Cornell’s impact was felt near and far, from the lacrosse fields to research labs and beyond in a turbulent 2025.
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 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.
The Global Radio Explorer telescope is a series of eight terminals being built and tested at Cornell and the California Institute of Technology, and installed at locations around the world.
Contributions unveiled tools for analyzing environmental and health interventions, matching images to architectural plans, and generating realistic 3D scenes with unprecedented efficiency.
