Researchers have produced a "photo album" of more than 30 shapes an oscillated drop of water can take – a fundamental insight into how droplets behave.
Cornell has been awarded a three-year, $1.2 million grant to become one of three new University Centers of Exemplary Mentoring, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has announced.
Materials researchers have devised a so-called hierarchical porous polymer film synthesis method that may help make these materials useful for applications ranging from catalysis to bioengineering.
To obtain data about shifts in avian migratory patterns, birds are being fitted with sensor-filled backpacks. A Cornell lab is developing the ultra-lightweight energy source to power those sensors using the vibrations from the birds' motion.
Researchers have new insight into automated stochastic inference that could help unravel hidden laws in fields as diverse as molecular biology and chemistry.
