Cornell's Laboratory of Plasma Studies has joined the newly established Inertial Fusion Science and Technology Hub, known as RISE, a multi-institutional consortium to advance inertial fusion energy as a power source that could change the world.
Cornell engineers have refined a model that not only cultivates green energy, but concurrently desalinates ocean water for large, drought-stricken coastal populations.
Researchers from Cornell Tech have developed a method to identify delays in the reporting of incidents such as downed trees and power lines, which could lead to practical insights and interventions for more equitable, efficient government service.
Researchers created a new technique to treat Type 1 diabetes: implanting a device inside a pocket under the skin that can secrete insulin while avoiding the immunosuppression that typically stymies management of the disease.
Inspired by a small and slow snail, scientists have developed a robot protype that may one day scoop up microplastics from the surfaces of oceans, seas and lakes.
In sea fireflies’ underwater ballet, the males sway together in perfect, illuminated synchronization, basking in the blue-like glow of their secreted iridescent mucus.
Researchers have demonstrated the use of artificial-intelligence-selected natural images and AI-generated synthetic images as neuroscientific tools for probing the visual processing areas of the brain.
Cornell Atkinson faculty fellows Greeshma Gadikota and Phillip Milner have won Carbontech Development Initiative grants to develop carbon removal technologies.
An interdisciplinary collaboration used paleo information and reconstructed weather scenarios to better understand California’s flood and drought risks and how they will be compounded by climate change.
Rev: Ithaca Startup Works is set to expand its hardware accelerator programs thanks to $4 million in grants from local and federal sources.
A new study calculated renewable energy projects' potential to profit from bitcoin mining during the precommercial development phase, when a wind or solar farm is generating electricity, but has not yet been integrated into the grid.
New research has shown that ultrasmall Cornell Prime Dots, or C’Dots, which are among the nanocarriers for therapeutics once thought to be viable only by injection, have the potential to be administered orally.
Strogatz’s and Lewis’ work was selected by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine from among 500 entries published or aired in 2023.
Cornell entrepreneurs shared wisdom, advice and ideas during Eclectic Convergence 2023 at Cornell Tech in New York City.
The pitch competition also gave the 26 teams in eLab a chance to meet alumni, students and venture capitalists.
After a distant star’s explosive death, a black hole or neutron star was the likely source of repeated energetic flares observed over several months, something astronomers had never seen before, a Cornell-led team reported Nov. 15 in Nature.
Louis Hand, professor emeritus of physics, who dedicated more than 40 years to the Cornell community as a professor in the Department of Physics, in the College of Arts and Sciences, died Oct. 30. He was 90.
Cornell chemists have developed a technique that allows them to image polymerization catalysis reactions at single-monomer resolution, key in discovering the molecular composition of a synthetic polymer.
After service in the military, Chris Brunkhorst and Caleb Jones sought new outlets to channel their discipline and their commitment to helping others – and they both found it in neuroscience.
A special type of cell, called an osteocyte, may hold the key to some of the mysteries of osteoporosis. A research group led by Karl Lewis, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, is studying osteocytes in unique new ways.
