Astronomers have uncovered the cosmological source of a "fast radio burst." Once thought to emanate from within the Milky Way galaxy, the bursts come from 3 billion light-years away.
A Cornell research group reports that a mechanical factor - stiffening of a cancer cell and its matrix - and not a chemical cause could contribute to metastasis in some forms of cancer.
Ankur Singh, assistant professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer, will receive the 2017 Young Investigator Award from the Society for Biomaterials.
Researchers from Cornell and the University of Virginia collaborated at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source in an effort to better understand the chemistry behind solar cells.
Dr. Michael Satlin at Weill Cornell Medicine and Ilana Brito in Ithaca are researching how to fight drug-resistant bacteria – "superbugs" that threaten cancer patients' fragile immune systems.
After 30 years and more than 500 peer-reviewed publications, the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source's CLEO detector has been removed and will resume data-collection at Jefferson Lab in Virginia.
Cornell has been awarded up to $7 million over five years to lead a consortium of universities exploring new transportation innovations that limit adverse impacts on public health and the environment.
A Cornell engineering group has devised a method for allowing strain and tactile sensing in a soft prosthetic hand, through the use of stretchable optical waveguides.
