Cornell researchers created cell-size robots that can be powered and steered by ultrasound waves. Despite their tiny size, these micro-robotic swimmers could be a formidable new tool for targeted drug delivery.
The Ezra’s Bridge program aims to address challenges faced by populations underrepresented in chemical and materials sciences by providing students with a full-tuition scholarship, research opportunities and mentoring.
A $5 million gift from David A. Duffield ’62, MBA ’64, has established the Duffield Family Cornell Promise Scholarship, providing financial assistance to undergraduate engineering students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory has tapped into the university’s Lake Source Cooling system, which uses cold water from Cayuga Lake to remove heat from the district chilled water loop that cools most Cornell facilities.
Hector Abruña, the Emile M. Chamot Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, has been awarded the Frumkin Memorial Medal from the International Society of Electrochemistry.
Cornell faculty members Jefferson Tester and Lance Collins are among the new class elected to the academy, among the highest professional distinctions for an engineer.
A new artificial intelligence tool developed by Cornell researchers promises to help speed up searches for novel metastable materials with unique properties in fields such as renewable energy and microelectronics.
A breakthrough technology uses nanoscale sensors and fiber optics to measure water status just inside a leaf’s surface, providing a tool to greatly advance our understanding of basic plant biology, and opening the door for breeding more drought-resistant crops.
Cornell Engineering has established the Lance R. Collins Fellowship, created to support engineering graduate students from traditionally unrepresented populations, as well as honor its former dean of 10 years.
