In the News$25M of Saudi money aids Cornell nano workithacajournal.com: Cornell University has received a $25 million grant from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology of Saudia Arabia for the development of the KAUST–Cornell University Center for Research and Education, which will focus on a technology platform of novel hybrid nanomaterials recently discovered at Cornell. CURB Shows Off Research cornellsun.com: Over 100 undergraduate students from across Cornell University showcased their research last week in the 20th Cornell Undergraduate Research Board Spring Forum, culminating in the organization's largest annual event that brought over 400 students and faculty to participate. A Journey to Baseball's Alternate Universe
New York Times: Computational Biology doctoral candidate Samuel Arbesman, and his faculty advisor Steven Strogatz, professor of applied mathematics, coauthor an op-ed that describes an experiment they conducted in which a computer simulation of the entire history of baseball calculated the likelihood of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. Cutting-edge microelectronics manufacturing center gets rollingsemiconductor.net: The Center for Advanced Microelectronics Manufacturing (CAMM) facility, a collaborative effort by Binghamton University, Endicott Interconnect Technologies, and Cornell University, officially opened at the end of March. The CAMM will pioneer microelectronics manufacturing research and development in a roll-to-roll (R2R) format. Faster computers may use light instead of electricityBoston Herald: Michal Lipson, electrical and computer engineering faculty member, is quoted in an article about research being done to develop ways to use light instead of electricity to convey signals inside computers. CU robot close to walking into historyithacajournal.com: Ranger, Cornell's walking robot, may have set the world's record for longest walk by a robot. Ranger has an efficient stride and a small energy demand, based on careful study of human locomotion—which may help someday in designing prosthetic devices. Cornell professor to deliver 2008 Bullitt Lecture Bizjournals.com: Professor Philip Protter, ORIE, will deliver the University of Louisville's 2008 William Marshall Bullitt Lecture in Mathematics on Thursday, April 3. His lecture is called "Mathematics meets Wall Street: How high finance became safer and more dangerous at the same time." Key component of Earth's crust formed from moving molten rockThe Hindu: By studying what were once pockets of hot, melted rock 13 kilometers deep in the Earth's crust 55 million years ago, Cornell scientists are able to explain how granulite, a major component of continental crust, is formed. A Record-Setting Resonator technologyreview.com: Researchers at Cornell University have created a silicon microresonator that vibrates at 4.51 gigahertz, the highest frequency ever recorded in such a silicon device. Other researchers have demonstrated silicon microresonators that vibrate up to 1.5 gigahertz. Supercomputing essential for 'cyberscholarship' futureScientific Computing World (United Kingdom): William Arms, professor of computer science, is quoted in an article about the benefit to research of high-performance computing and digital libraries. |
