Cornell Unmanned Air Systems, an undergraduate project team that designs, builds and programs completely autonomous planes, will defend its world championship title at the Student Unmanned Air Systems Competition.
A Cornell senior and researchers have narrowed theories on why the hydrocarbon dunes – think plastic – on Titan are oriented in an unexpected direction, a solar system eccentricity that has puzzled space scientists.
Cornell scientists used a very tiny, extremely bright X-ray beam to make high-speed movies of how spreadable organic molecules formed crystal lattices at the nanoscale.
