Artificial Intelligence, Design + Technology and Quantum Science and Technology will become part of “Radical Collaboration Drives Discovery,” bringing to 10 the number of initiatives in the provost office’s five-year-old program.
James Cordes, professor of astronomy at Cornell University, and Shami Chatterjee, a researcher at Cornell’s department of astronomy are members of the EHT collaboration pulsar working group, which focuses on finding pulsars around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. They are available for interviews about today’s breakthrough.
Cornell researchers were able to stretch and twist individual molecules of a conjugated polymer and measure its mechanical and kinetic properties, gaining insights that could eventually lead to more flexible and robust soft electronic materials.
Ursa Space Systems, a geospatial intelligence agency located in Ithaca and founded by alumni Adam Maher and Derek Edinger, and Julie Baker, recently obtained $15 million in Series B funding.
Mason Peck, former NASA Chief Technologist and Cornell University aerospace engineering professor, comments on the legacy of NASA's Opportunity rover — now facing a massive wind storm on Mars.
A Cornell-led collaboration used wind speed data and the measured accelerations of a golden eagle outfitted with GPS technology to show that turbulence is a source of energy that birds may use to their advantage.
In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, a human has received a 3D-bioprinted ear implant grown from the patient’s own living cells – thanks to a technology platform developed by a Cornellian-founded startup company.
Four early-career faculty members have won 2021 Sloan Research Fellowships from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which support research and education related to science, technology, mathematics and economics.
Researchers led by Hening Lin have found a new way to potentially treat inflammatory bowel disease, as well as other autoimmune disorders, by targeting a mechanism that regulates the signaling pathway that enables inflammation to occur.
In Nature Geoscience, Cornell’s Johannes Lehmann says that scientists should develop new models that accurately reflect soil carbon-storage processes to draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide.
