A skirt to be showcased at Vancouver Fashion Week was directly inspired by Cornell physics research on using origami to tailor the mechanical properties of materials.
A mile-long asteroid that raced past Earth July 25 at about 45,000 miles per hour was imaged by radar telescopes so that astronomers like Cornell's Sean Marshall could discern its precise orbit and physical shape.
Physicists have demonstrated the application of kirigami on 10-micron sheets of graphene, which they can cut, fold and twist. The research could pave the way for some of the smallest machines the world has ever known.
Vanquishing the agony of defeat, Cornell food scientists now have better grasp on the sweet, thrilling taste of victory. And in the face of loss, the researchers found prompts for emotional eating.
While most Cornell students headed home for the summer, a group of entrepreneurial undergrads and graduate students are staying in Ithaca for intensive business development as part of the new Life Changing Labs summer incubator.
Cornell polymer engineers have made a mold for nanostructures that can shape liquid silicon out of an organic polymer material, paving the way for perfect, single crystal nanostructures.
The Department of Mathematics in Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences offers a Senior Seminar in which graduate students teach Ithaca High School advanced topics in math.
