Google-funded research will scan clothing and behavior

Computer science researchers will use Google Glass to coach wearers on nonverbal behavior, and 3-D scans to create computer images of soft, deformable objects.

Job-worthy degree combines admin and tech

The Council of Graduate Schools has approved a Professional Science Master's designation for two programs at Cornell that combine technical and business instruction, in Food Science and Applied Statistics.

Hovering drones adapted for photo lighting

Small flying robots can replace light stands for a photo shoot, automatically adjusting their position for the best effects.

'Robo Brain' mines the Internet to teach robots

A giant database gathered from the Internet will help robots function in the human world.

For a healthier you, let your smartphone call it in

Cornell Tech's Manohar helps design IBM 'brain chip'

The design methodology of a new IBM computer chip inspired by the human brain was pioneered by Cornell Tech’s Rajit Manohar. “After years of collaboration with IBM, we are now a step closer to building a computer similar to our brain,” Manohar said.

To bolster lithium battery life, add a little salt

Striving to achieve safer, longer-lasting batteries for the modern world’s trappings – automobiles, cell phones, computers, autonomous robots – Cornell chemical engineers have added salt to their chemistry.

Cornell Tech's Levitt says boost K-12 computational literacy

Cornell Tech in New York City is a graduate campus, but promoting computational thinking and doing for much younger students has, from its inception, been part of Cornell Tech’s core mission, said Diane Levitt, Cornell Tech's K-12 education director.

Exotic state of matter propels quantum computing theory

Cornell physicists have answered a long-standing problem in quantum computing by making a fractional topological superconductor, an exotic state of matter in which emergent quasi-particles perform quantum computations without error.
