Three squares showing swirled colors: scientific images
Provided a two-dimensional slice through the three-dimensional simulations Fielding and his collaborators are running on Frontier. The color shows the magnitude of the electric current, or curl of the magnetic field, which is a measure of how much the magnetic field "swirls." The two zoom-in panels demonstrate the small scale complexity that these unprecedentedly high resolution simulations are able to capture in great detail.

Cornell expert available on South Korea imposing martial law

A&S Communications

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol says he will lift the declaration of martial law he had imposed overnight; his actions could reinvigorate South Korea’s tradition of expressing political dissent through candlelight rallies, says Sidney Tarrow, an emeritus professor of government.

Working moms set an example for the next generation

Cornell Chronicle

A girl who attends a school with classmates whose mothers work is more likely to be in the workforce when she has a child herself than a girl who grows up in local circles where most mothers stay at home, Cornell researchers have found.
