By combining the design principles and materials of soft robotics with microscale combustions, researchers created a high-resolution electronic tactile display that can operate in messy, unpredictable environments.
Nine postdoctoral scholars were honored with Postdoc Achievement Awards as part of Cornell’s participation in National Postdoc Appreciation Week. The awards recognize excellence in community engagement, leadership and mentoring.
Researchers in the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business found that while larger herds can slightly reduce rangeland productivity in Mongolia from year to year, weather and climate have a much bigger effect.
In two recent papers, Cornell researchers identified seven distinct strategies commenters employ when objecting to content online, noting that reputational attacks are most common but that moral appeals are viewed more favorably.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated that, by zapping a thin film with ultrafast pulses of low-frequency infrared light, they can cause its lattice to atomically expand and contract billions of times per second, potentially switching its electronic, magnetic or optical properties on and off.
The development of the robot is critical as managing such diseases as powdery and downy mildews in vineyards is the top concern for grape growers and viticulturists.
