In this week’s episode of Research Matters, Cornell professor Robert Shepherd explores a radically reimagined future of robotics – one built not from bolts and steel, but from living tissues, fungal networks and soft, 3D-printed materials.
A well-placed step can turn a high hurdle into an easier jump. The same idea applies to how nanoparticles transition into crystals, according to new research from the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering.
Fourteen members of Cornell’s faculty and staff are being recognized this year with Community-Engaged Practice and Innovation Awards from the David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement.
Robert John Sullivan, Jr., one of the world’s foremost authorities on aeolian processes – how wind can carve and change a landscape – died Feb. 15 in Ithaca of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He was 63.
A Cornell-led collaboration used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance.
Researchers have found that quantum systems in a frozen state can be stabilized long enough to be a useful strategy for preserving information before it disappears.
Researchers demonstrated how a swarm of microrobots spinning on a water surface can together generate the fluidic torque needed to manipulate passive structures without any physical contact.
Products to fight ear infections in dogs, a parasite in cattle and animal population control challenges won top honors at the Feb. 20-22 Animal Health Hackathon at the College of Veterinary Medicine.
The Gustavus John Esseln Award for Chemistry in the Public Interest from the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society honors outstanding achievement in scientific and technical work that contributes to public well-being.
