One year after unveiling a first-of-its-kind “microwave brain” microchip capable of computing on ultrafast data and wireless signals, researchers from the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering have shown how the chip can encode information into its own language.
Researchers studying ribosomes, AI and quantum computing are among 13 early-career professors from Cornell who’ve recently been awarded National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Awards.
Light typically interacts with a material the same way whether it enters through the front or the back. Cornell researchers have demonstrated a simple route to breaking that symmetry, with possibilities for photonics and quantum information processing.
As psychedelic drugs gain more support from the medical community as a potential treatment for severe depression, Cornell researchers are making crucial discoveries that explain how compounds such as psilocybin work on the brain.
A new Cornell study shows how drivers of water shortage, from melting snowpack to growing population demands, may impact Colorado’s West Slope River basins and Lake Powell – a major source of energy and water supply for 40 million people.
Researchers developed a potential replacement for the tiny copper interconnects in microchips: single-crystal nanowires that become better conductors the thinner they get.
Using James Webb Space Telescope observations, Cornell astronomers show that WD 1856 b, a planet that survived its star’s death, migrated later and has methane-rich atmosphere.
A $13.3 million grant from the NIH will support efforts to reveal how immune cells communicate within living tissues, which could shape new approaches for treating inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders and infections.
On July 1, the digital research respository arXiv, housed at Cornell Tech, will transition to an independent nonprofit, enabling faster technological development, expanded partnerships and long-term financial sustainability.
A late-night “Eureka” moment, a smashed computer and 17 years of persistence led researchers to achieve what many in microwave electronics had long considered out of reach: a tunable, low energy loss class of dielectric materials.
Thanks to a new civil and environmental engineering course, adjunct professor Charlie Trautmann helps students hone their engineering skills by designing and building a series of community bridges.
A delivery system that uses lipid nanoparticles to sneak proteins into cells can accomplish the same feat with smuggling therapeutic antibodies, new research has found.
A new study from Cornell researchers has revealed an obstacle to improving charge transport in hybrid perovskites, a promising class of semiconductor materials used in energy conversion and electronic devices.
Cornell’s faculty members have elected Chris Schaffer, the Meinig Family Professor of Engineering in the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering, dean of faculty. Schaffer will begin his three-year term starting July 1.
A team of Cornell students bested the competition with their invention: an autonomous robot that kills weeds with electricity.
Craig J. Fennie, associate professor at the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering whose groundbreaking research opened pathways for scientists to discover and design materials, died on June 14. He was 54.
Cornell researchers have shown that excitons can do more than observe magnetism. They can actively steer it.
Cornell Prime dots – known as C’ dots – are effective against prostate tumors, according to a new preclinical study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering.
Cornell Atkinson has awarded $900k to support six new research projects that seek to protect coral reefs, improve greenhouse agriculture and understand whether wildfires affect disease spread.
Researchers developed a more efficient and cost-effective way to recover almost the full life of lithium-ion batteries after they are spent.
