Cornell researchers have discovered a rare "pseudogap" phenomenon that helps explain how the superconducting transition temperature can be greatly...

A breakthrough technology uses nanoscale sensors and fiber optics to measure water status just inside a leafs surface, providing a tool to greatly advance our understanding of basic plant biology, and opening the door for breeding more drought-resistant crops.

A first-of-its-kind study examining the thermal transport properties of a novel material is helping steer the future of two-dimensional hybrid...

First came the Big Bang. And in the moments afterward? Some physicists believe this so-called inflationary epoch was punctuated by phase transitions in...

May 10, 2021 Twenty-four years ago, physics professor Harold Craighead and then-doctoral student Dustin Carr, Ph.D. ’00, created the world’s smallest guitar using cutting-edge technology in what was then the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility. They’re at it again at the center – now known as the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF), in Duffield Hall. A team led by staff photolithographer Ed Camacho has created what is thought to be the world’s smallest rendition of Co...
