When bad makes good: Defects strengthen 3D-printed material

Cornell researchers found that by deliberately introducing more defects into a 3D-printed metal alloy, followed by a post-processing treatment, they could create a stronger, more ductile material.

Student team creates award-winning food concept for NASA

A team of graduate students in food science, mechanical engineering and biological engineering is among the winners of Phase 1 of the NASA Deep Space Food Challenge.

Juno craft provides first 3D view of Jupiter’s deep storms

After gazing at Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and its cloudy realm, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has given humanity a 3D, turbulent sense of what lies far below its swirling surface.

Scientists bring efficiency to expanding offshore wind energy

Cornell research shows how to make offshore wind farms more efficient in the face of impending rapid expansion, as the U.S. Department of the Interior plans leasing federal waters.

Cornell experts to discuss food, ag trends at Grow-NY Summit

“A Call For Innovation: New York’s Agrifood System,” a report published this past spring by Cornell’s Center for Regional Economic Advancement, is the basis for the topics to be addressed at this year’s Grow-NY Summit, slated to bring food and ag innovators together at the Syracuse Oncenter on Nov. 16-17.

Machine learning predicts antibiotic resistance spread

Cornell researchers used machine learning to predict with near-perfect accuracy how genes are transferred between bacteria, an approach that could potentially be used to stop the spread of antibiotic resistance.
