Steve Marschner was selected as the 2015 recipient of the Computer Graphics Achievement Award for modeling natural materials such as hair, skin and fabric.
Researchers have found that irradiation of material creates nanometer-sized defects that trap swirling eddies in the flow of electrons, keeping them out of the way so more current can flow through superconductors.
Cornell researchers have gained a new insight into the way cells regulate the expression of their genes, and were surprised to find this regulation closely linked to the a cell’s cycle of growth and division.
Cornell researchers used cutting-edge X-ray technology to noninvasively image fruit flies during and after mating, revealing changes that occur in the female fruit flies' reproductive tract.
