Conventional batteries are a lot like camels. They’re great for storage and transportation, but they’re not exactly speedy. For technologies that

Researchers grew a thin film of one of the oldest known superconductors on top of a semiconductor, and for the first time measured the electronic properties of the junction between the two materials, paving the way for hybrid superconductor-semiconductor quantum devices.

In 2020, four of the five most-read stories in the Cornell Chronicle related to the pandemic. This year, as of Dec. 1, there was just one COVID-19 story in the top 20 – a reflection of the “new normal” following a year like no other.Of the top 10 Chr

A crystal structure that combines a semiconductor and superconductor is a tantalizing prospect to create energy-efficient computers, or quantum

Of the top 10 Chronicle stories in 2021, five were on research, one reported on a major gift to the university and two profiled Cornellians doing extraordinary things – including a graduate who played a key role in NASA’s landing of the Perseverance rover on Mars.

A collaboration of researchers led by Cornell has been awarded $22.5 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to continue gaining the fundamental understanding needed to transform the brightness of electron beams available to science, medic

PARADIM has received a second award of $22.5 million from the National Science Foundation to fund another five years of enabling scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs nationwide to design and create new inorganic materials for use in electronics.

Cornell researchers have topped their own record for atomic resolution with an electron microscope pixel array detector that incorporates sophisticated 3D reconstruction algorithms.

Alex Kwan Both alumni are important additions to the College of Engineering, which is growing its roster of interdisciplinary faculty who contribute to university-level centers and initiatives. Cha is a particularly strategic fit, with research interests including atomic understanding of material formation and the design of new materials with applications for quantum computing and information processing. “Judy is a deep thinker who tackles big questions in materials science,” said Lara Estr...

Cornell University Cornell researchers have created micron-sized shape memory actuators that enable atomically thin two-dimensional materials to fold themselves into 3D configurations. Self-folding nanotech creates world’s smallest origami bird March 17, 2021 If you want to build a fully functional nanosized robot, you need to incorporate a host of capabilities, from complicated electronic circuits and photovoltaics to sensors and antennas. But just as importantly, if you want you...
