June, 2014: KIC members Paul McEuen, Jiwoong Park and Kin Fai Mak have tested molybdenum disulfide as a new semiconductor material, with the potential to create smaller, more efficient computers. Read more in the June 27th article in Science.

June, 2014: Matthew Paszek, KIC Fellow and Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, led an important study on glycoprotein-induced cancer survival, published in Nature on June 25.  The study found that the polysaccharide coating of cancer cells is especially thick and pronounced.

May, 2014: A team of Cornell researchers, including KIC member Seamus Davis, close in on the secret recipe for high-temperature superconductors. Their results were published in the May 8 issue of the journal Science.

April, 2014: KIC members Kyle Shen, Darrell Schlom and Phil King and a team from Cornell and Brookhaven National Lab have discovered a new property of metal oxides that can act like a switch when the material is less than a nanometer thick.  The finding were published online April 6 in Nature Nanotechnology and will appear in the journal’s May issue.

April, 2014: A technology developed by Cornell Scientists prepares proteins for X-ray crystallography has made its way into the world marketplace. The science behind the product was developed in the lab of Sol Gruner, KIC member and John L. Wetherill Professor of Physics.

March, 2014: KIC Member Itai Cohen investigates how flies recover to flight disturbances, concluding that a small group of fly neurons is actually "solving calculus problems."

March, 2014:  A recent article focuses on how the 2013 KIC Science Communications Workshop with Alan Alda enabled scientists to take cues from actors "to keep audiences from snoozing."

February, 2014: KIC Executive Committee member Dan Ralph was announced as one of 143 "Outstanding Referees of 2014" by the American Physical Society for his outstanding service to the physics community.

On December 2, 2013 KIC member and Professor of Physics Séamus Davis was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science from the National University of Ireland. In presenting the award Chancellor Maurice Manning of the National University of Ireland described Davis as "one of the world’s most accomplished physicists."

December, 2013: KIC Member and Cornell Professor of Physics Seamus Davis and Prof. Dung-Hai Lee of UC Berkeley have proposed a new theory unifying the odd behaviors of superconductors. Read the full paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
