Seamless tech: ‘OriStitch’ threads computation and 3D textiles

Researchers from the Cornell Bowers have developed OriStitch, a new software and fabrication system that takes simple 3D objects and spins them into a design for a textile version using carefully placed stitches in fabric.

Cake-pan telescope searches the sky for fast radio bursts

The Global Radio Explorer telescope is a series of eight terminals being built and tested at Cornell and the California Institute of Technology, and installed at locations around the world.

A dose of psilocybin, a dash of rabies point to treatment for depression

An international collaboration led by Cornell researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to map how – and where – the psychedelic compound rewires the connections in the brain.

Forever young? Extracellular vesicles may be key to halt aging

Scientists have outlined exactly how embryonic stem cells protect other cells from the effects of oxidative stress, thus preventing cellular aging.

Bird-of-paradise inspires darkest fabric ever made

The color “ultrablack” has a variety of uses, including in cameras, solar panels and telescopes, but it’s difficult to produce and can appear less black when viewed at an angle. A Cornell lab has devised a simple method for making the elusive color.

Researchers reveal how small optical computers could get

By studying the theoretical limits of how light can be used to perform computation, Cornell researchers have uncovered new insights and strategies for designing energy-efficient optical computing systems.

How small satellites can help the US win the space race

Researchers are using 3D printing to custom build high-efficiency, low-cost electric rockets that, combined with novel propellants, will keep small satellites in low Earth orbit.
