Read morePlanning to harness the power of AI are A&S researchers from physics; ecology and evolutionary biology; chemistry and chemical biology; and neurobiology and behavior
Read morePhysicists Matthias Liepe and James Sethna were recognized for having made "exceptional contributions" to physics.
Read moreResearch in the realm of accelerator physics focuses a lot on where you get the particles from. My group’s expertise is creating and manipulating electron beams. We’re typically interested in studying a process called photon emission by way of using light to impinge on a specially engineered materia...
Read moreI joined the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2005. The project then was already in the middle of construction and primarily I worked on the pixel detector and getting that ready for data taking, which started in 2010. But already I was thinking about what...
Read moreAs a graduate student in Germany at a national research lab, students weren’t allowed to do many thing for themselves. My advisor sent me to Cornell for six months to learn how to do things. In Newman Lab, the students do everything – how to use the clean room, how to solder, etc. So after I finishe...
Read moreA model system created by stacking a pair of monolayer semiconductors is giving physicists a simpler way to study confounding quantum behavior.
Read more“There are very few universities that do accelerator research. Cornell is a leader among them.”
Read moreA world expert at using mechanical strain to precisely manipulate the properties of materials, Malinowski is particularly interested in superconductors.
Read moreA model based on density functional theory can suggest the best positioning for each player on the basketball court.
