Cloud cover is bad for picnics and for viewing stars through a telescope. But an exoplanet with dense or even total cloud cover could help astronomers searching for signs of life beyond our planet, Cornell researchers have found.
Using time-delay snapshots, researchers led by mathematician Yunan Yang have introduced a new way to identify the underlying dynamics of unpredictable systems, such as the atmosphere and turbulent fluids.
The Northeastern Robotics Conference (NERC), held Saturday, Oct. 11 at Cornell, featured more than 100 robots research projects from the region, including a shadowboxing droid and a backflipping robot dog.
A multicollege team has developed a prototype of a knitting machine that creates solid, knitted shapes, adding stitches in any direction so users can construct a wide variety of shapes and add stiffness to different parts of the object.
Researchers are using 3D printing to custom build high-efficiency, low-cost electric rockets that, combined with novel propellants, will keep small satellites in low Earth orbit.
Using a Cornell-built instrument and Cornell-built high-speed detector, a team of researchers captured atomically thin materials responding to light with a dynamic twisting motion.
The president of the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation will present Abruña with the award in a 4 p.m. ceremony in the Meshri Family Auditorium, Baker Laboratory Room 200 and also livestreamed.
Cornell researchers and collaborators have developed a neural implant so small that it can rest on a grain of salt, yet it can wirelessly transmit brain activity data in a living animal for more than a year.
