Researchers at the Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems have taken a major step toward advancing two-way communication with plants.
While the particle accelerator buried beneath Cornell’s soccer field typically hums along 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the spring down period offers a rare and essential pause in operations.
Sionic Energy, a leader in electrolyte and silicon battery technology, has been awarded a $200,000 SuperBoost grant from the NSF Energy Storage Engine in Upstate New York.
Princeton history professor Michael Gordin will give the inaugural lecture celebrating the life and work of Henry Guerlac ’32, M.S. ’33, an influential historian of science and Cornell faculty member for three decades.
The software company is contributing $2 million each to Cornell’s College of Architecture, Art and Planning and Cornell Engineering to name and update “design and make” spaces.
Cornell researchers are helping upgrade the CMS detector at CERN, as LHC collaborations win the 2024 Breakthrough Prize for fundamental physics discoveries.
The project aligns with Cornell Atkinson's core mission of supporting research that drives meaningful impact across public opinion, policy, and corporate practices.
Researchers developed a low-cost method to produce carbon-free “green” hydrogen via solar-powered electrolysis of seawater, with a helpful byproduct: potable water.
In recognition of his transformative leadership in nanomanufacturing technology, James C. Morgan ’60, MBA ’63, was presented with the Cornell Engineering Distinguished Alumni Award – the college’s highest alumni honor.
Cornell researchers have identified a pair of key neurological mechanisms in the brain – a cell type and receptor – that enable the psychedelic compound’s long-lasting effects.
The Southern Ocean – between Antarctica and other continents – will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in precipitation over East Asia and the Western U.S.
A primary research focus for the new lab is understanding how young people develop a sense of purpose, and how it impacts their everyday experiences and contributes to their long-term development.
Cornell scientists launched aluminum particles, each about 20 micrometers in diameter, onto an aluminum surface at speeds of up to 1,337 meters per second – well beyond the speed of sound – and used high-speed cameras to record the impacts.
After a long ocean voyage, the first major component of the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope has arrived at its final home: the Cerro Chajnantor mountaintop, more than 18,000 feet above sea level.
Cornell researchers are helping to transform portions of Chattanooga’s transit system into a seamless, AI-powered network where buses, shuttles, electric cars and bikes work together to provide the most efficient routes – at the push of a button.
