National Science Foundation announces Cornell-led AI Materials Institute

The NSF, in partnership with Intel, will invest $20 million over five years to establish the Artificial Intelligence Materials Institute at Cornell, as part of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes.

Fix discovered for elusive gallium-oxide contact problem

Cornell researchers have uncovered a microscopic layer of carbon contamination, often left behind by air exposure and fabrication techniques, that impairs electrical flow in devices made with gallium oxide. They also found a solution.

Study captures crystal phase changes in unprecedented detail

Using custom-built computer simulations, Cornell researchers have visualized solid-solid phase transitions in unprecedented detail, capturing the motion of every particle in a theoretical material as its crystal structure morphs into another.

Research at risk: Advancing ultrafast lasers for national defense

A Cornell Engineering team was on the cusp of significant progress developing an advanced laser useful for military and civilian applications, but a stop-work order prevented final experiments from proceeding.

Radar satellite will give new view of changes to Earth’s surface

NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization are launching a satellite that uses synthetic aperture radar – and Cornell expertise – to monitor nearly all the planet’s land- and ice-covered surfaces twice every 12 days.

You study featured in journal

Fengqi You, professor, had his study “Exploring Chemical Space with Chemistry-Inspired Dynamic Quantum Circuits in the NISQ Era” featured on the cover of the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation.

With $10M, NYS renews Cornell program to drive economic, job growth

Cornell has secured a 10-year, $10 million grant renewal to continue work aimed at spurring economic impact and job growth through applied research, development and commercialization of breakthrough technologies.

New platform enables rapid assembly of Nipah virus vaccine candidate

Researchers have developed a rapid, cell-free method for building nanoparticle vaccines that mimic viruses at the molecular level, a technique that could pave the way for faster, more adaptable immunization strategies against deadly viruses like Nipah.

Shapeshifting liquid crystal can form emulsions, then change back

Cornell researchers have developed a two-phase liquid crystal system that can rapidly change – and hold – its shape, transforming from a transparent thin liquid film to an opaque emulsion, and then back again, all with a brief jolt of a high-frequency electric field.

Two doctoral students awarded DOE fellowships

Two Cornell Engineering doctoral student were awarded fellowships by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Pascal Caraccioli Salinas, a doctoral student in geological sciences, received the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship, and Joshua Luoma, a doctoral candidate in applied…
