Seven New York state businesses have been awarded funding to participate in the Cornell Center for Materials Research JumpStart Program, through which they will collaborate with Cornell faculty members to develop and improve their products.
A new stretchable optical lace creates a linked sensory network that would enable robots to sense how they interact with their environment and adjust their actions accordingly.
The Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source will create a new materials research subfacility, thanks to $7.1 million in funding from the Air Force Research Lab, to facilitate X-ray analysis of new and existing materials.
Cornell researchers have created a soft robot muscle that can regulate its temperature through sweating. This technology will enable untethered, high-powered robots to operate for long periods of time without overheating.
The Frank H.T. Rhodes Symposium will celebrate the emeritus president's 90th birthday by bringing two noted scholars to discuss his contributions to paleontology and Darwin studies.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated a technique for writing, erasing and rewriting microscopic magnetic patterns – think the world's tiniest Etch A Sketch – that could advance research into ultrafast computer memory.
The history of superconducting materials has been a tale of two types: s-wave and d-wave. Now, Cornell researchers have discovered a possible third type: g-wave.
The drawn-out process for diagnosing Lyme disease could become a thing of the past – good news for the thousands of people each year who get the tick-borne illness.
Steven Strogatz, the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics, hosts a new podcast series for Quanta Magazine called “The Joy of x” in which he interviews scientists and mathematicians about their lives and work.
