Cornell researchers developed a new way to safely heat up specific areas inside the body by using biodegradable polymers that contain tiny water pockets, a technology that could lead to precise and noninvasive diagnostics and therapeutics.
Project teams in Rev: Ithaca's Prototyping Hardware Accelerator will present their ideas – from AI cocktail generators to plastic recycling machines - at Demo Day on July 31.
A Cornell-led collaboration uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics from the cell.
Cornell researchers have developed a soft robotic device that gently grips and injects living plant leaves with sensors that help it detect and communicate with its environment. The robot can also inject genetic material into the leaves.
Princeton history professor Michael Gordin will give the inaugural lecture celebrating the life and work of Henry Guerlac ’32, M.S. ’33, an influential historian of science and Cornell faculty member for three decades.
In collaboration with Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit, researchers found that a pilot fleet of seven electric buses consumed up to 48% more energy in cold weather.
