Twenty-four years ago, physics professor Harold Craighead and then-doctoral student Dustin Carr, Ph.D. ’00, created the world’s smallest guitar using cutting-edge technology in what was then the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility.
They’re at it again at the center – now known as the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF), in Duffield Hall. A team led by staff photolithographer Ed Camacho has created what is thought to be the world’s smallest rendition of Cornell’s iconic McGraw Tower – complete with its 161 interior steps, two sets of stairs and 21 bells.

The “Tyvek Temple,” officially referred to as Wall Street Place phase I but colloquially called “POKO.”
NORWALK, Conn. Norwalk’s tax board has authorized a $282,000 budget transfer to cover legal fees in the “POKO” lawsuit.
Corporation Counsel Mario Coppola expects to incur $200,000 in fees “over the course of the remainder of the Fiscal Year” – a time period ending June 30 – in the lawsuit, according to Deputy Corporation Counsel Jeffry Spahr. The flip side of this coin is a windfall from a settlement with CC Rivington, a defendant in the lawsuit. CC Rivington agreed to pay $200,000, of which $125,000 has been collected so far, Coppola said Monday.
Monday’s Board of Estimate and Taxation meeting on Zoom.
NORWALK, Conn. You appear to be set for virtually no increase in your Norwalk property taxes this year, courtesy of the American Rescue Plan.
The Board of Estimate and Taxation voted unanimously Monday to approve a 2021-22 tentative operating budget that carries no increase in the mill rate, factoring in $12.9 million of American Rescue Plan funding. It offers
no increase for the Board of Education – so that’s a 0% increase instead of the 2.6% increase that drew Board member protests – but Norwalk Chief Financial Officer Henry Dachowitz and Mayor Harry Rilling said they expect American Rescue Plan dollars to give Norwalk Public Schools the funding it needs.
