Cornell astronomers are deploying a new instrument that grants them, for the first time, a better view of the universe’s earliest galaxies, which can’t be observed individually with ground- or space-based telescopes.
The Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) will host its annual High Energy X-ray Techniques (HEXT) School next week, bringing graduate students and early-career researchers together for an intensive introduction to synchrotron science and high-energy x-ray research methods.
Researchers found entropy can help bind certain pairs of molecules faster and more robustly – an approach that could have broad applications in drug development and forming new materials.
Students in a Duffield Engineering class are equipping a racing baton and a flying drone with Internet of Things technology to address challenges in and around Geneva, N.Y.
Presenters at the workshop explained how Cornell's Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) promises a leap forward in our understanding of galaxy, star and planetary formation processes.
Researchers created a computational model that shows the effect of insects’ morphology on stabilizing their flight, which could provide a blueprint for designing flapping-wing robots.
Two faculty members in the College of Arts and Sciences – astronomer Martha Haynes and literary scholar Caroline Levine – have been named to the American Philosophical Society.
Thirty student startups received Human Spirit, Beck Fellows and Cane Entrepreneurial Scholars awards this summer from Entrepreneurship at Cornell, funding that will allow students to work on their startups rather than take traditional summer positions.
Assistant professor Greg Falco testified before the congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission about how low-level data can be leveraged for tactical advantage.
