The College of Engineering’s Kessler Fellows program welcomed 20 new student entrepreneurs to its latest cohort, where they will explore entrepreneurship through academic coursework, mentorship with entrepreneurs and an internship.
New Cornell research shows the metaverse – a virtual 3D environment in which the physical and digital worlds converge – could have environmental benefits: lowering the global surface temperature by up to 0.02 degrees Celsius before the end of the century.
A nitrogen doped carbon-coated nickel anode can catalyze an essential reaction in hydrogen fuel cells at a fraction of the cost of the precious metals currently used, Cornell researchers have found.
In 2020, Charles “Charlie” Van Loan volunteered to stay on as dean of the faculty for an additional year “after it became clear that the COVID-19 pandemic would ravage how we run the place,” he said.
A new artificial intelligence system allowing shoppers on Facebook to identify characteristics of items in uploaded photographs is based on Cornell research.
Researchers combined soft microactuators with high-energy-density chemical fuel to create an insect-scale quadrupedal robot that is powered by combustion and can outperform its electric-driven competitors.
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have identified neurons that drive animal brains to initiate actions without prompting from food or prey – a big step toward solving a big unanswered questions in neuroscience.
A physics theory that’s proven useful to predict the crowd behavior of molecules and fruit flies also seems to work in a very different context – a basketball court.
A new method for analyzing protein crystals – developed by Cornell researchers and given a funky two-part name – could open up applications for new drug discovery and other areas of biotechnology and biochemistry.
