Cornell researchers built miniature VR headsets to immerse mice more deeply in virtual environments that can help reveal the neural activity that informs spatial navigation and memory function and generate new insights into disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and its potential treatments.
R. Keith Dennis, professor emeritus of mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences, died Dec. 12 following a prolonged battle with metastatic prostate cancer. He was 80.
Cornell researchers have engineered a nanoporous carbon with the highest surface area ever reported, a breakthrough that is already proving beneficial for carbon-dioxide capture and energy storage technologies.
The Brooks Tech Policy Institute has received $3 million from the Department of Defense to establish the U.S. Semiconductor Research Hub, which will assess and improve the resilience of the global network of semiconductor infrastructure.
Microscopic machines engineered by Cornell researchers can autonomously synchronize their movements, opening new possibilities for the use of microrobots in drug delivery, chemical mixing and environmental remediation, among other applications.
Superhot rock geothermal – often found at least six miles below Earth’s surface – could offer abundant clean energy, finds a new report from Cornell researchers and the nonprofit Clean Air Task Force.
Allen Hatcher, a geometric topologist, will receive the award for his book, “Algebraic Topology,” published in 2002 by Cambridge University Press.
A small delegation of Cornell faculty, staff and students attended COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan in November, where they advocated for cross-cutting partnerships to help countries achieve climate goals.
“We are going to run the largest simulations of the magnetized gas that pervades the space between stars, with the aim of understanding a crucial missing piece in our models for how stars and galaxies form."
Cornell researchers have discovered a pathway by which E. coli regulates zinc levels, an insight that could advance the understanding of metal regulation in bacteria and lead to antibacterial applications such as in medical instruments.
The researchers say that their method could create a closed-loop recycling process for this type of plastic.
Cornell Engineering researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how muscle cells lose the ability to regenerate in aging mice.
Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet. Its mission: to be tiny enough to interact with waves of visible light and still move independently, so that it can maneuver, and take images and measurements.
To meet a growing need, Enfield Food Distribution is working with a multidisciplinary Cornell team to design and raise funds for a larger, more welcoming facility.
A tool co-developed by Cornell researchers uses AI and machine learning to solve and predict how human proteins might interface and interact with other proteins, which can greatly accelerate fundamental research and clinical precision medicine.
Cornell has been responsible for many milestones in the field of topology.
A new study by Cornell information science researchers finds that ignoring race in college admissions leads to an admitted class that is much less diverse, but with similar academic credentials to those where affirmative action is factored in.
The Information and Decision Science Laboratory is designing a better – and safer – future for transportation with the help of a 20-by-20-foot “smart” scaled city and a fleet of motorized cars, drones and virtual reality technology.
Using the “beneficiary pays” principle for new power infrastructure will encourage investment in the grid without causing disputes over cost-sharing, new research shows.
Cornell scientists are developing a library of basalt-based spectral signatures that not only will help reveal the composition of planets outside of our solar system, but also could demonstrate evidence of water on those exoplanets.
