Research
- "It is precisely at times like these that successful institutions seize the moment to define what they value, what they aspire to become, and what investments are needed to realize these aspirations."
  – Dean Lynden Archer
- Priority Research Directions
- Impactful Initiatives
- Priority Research Directions will guide our investments in people, programs, and infrastructure.
  Impactful Initiatives are a subset of these that present particularly promising opportunities.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry for optical microscopy

chris | December 21, 2014

Two Cornell graduates win 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemsitry - Eric Betzig, William Moerner. Also, Stefan Hell.

Eric Betzig (Applied and Engineering Physics, Ph.D., 1988; M.S., 1985) along with William E. Moerner, (Experimental Physics, Ph.D., 1982; M.S., 1978) were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014 for their groundbreaking achievements in optical microscopy where the pathways of individual molecules can be imaged inside living cells. Betzig and Moerner are pictured with the third joint recipient Stefan Hell.
