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.
A Cornell-led collaboration developed microscale magnetic particles that can mimic the ability of biomolecules to self-assemble into complex structures, while also reducing the parasitic waste that would otherwise clog up production.
Cornell Cinema will present a free screening of the documentary “The Accelerator” on April 8 at 6 p.m. Producer David Raubach will attend the screening and participate in a discussion following the film.
Cornell faculty are invited to submit proposals for fully funded Thought Summits to spark interdisciplinary collaborations in data science and AI, with applications due June 16.
Using custom-built computer simulations, Cornell researchers have visualized solid-solid phase transitions in unprecedented detail, capturing the motion of every particle in a theoretical material as its crystal structure morphs into another.
Cornell researchers have identified the signaling mechanism that triggers steroid-induced glaucoma by creating a 3D “eye-on-a-chip” platform that mimics the flow of ocular fluids.
Nearly a decade after they first demonstrated that soft materials could guide the formation of superconductors, Cornell researchers have achieved a one-step, 3D printing method that produces superconductors with record properties.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated that, by zapping a thin film with ultrafast pulses of low-frequency infrared light, they can cause its lattice to atomically expand and contract billions of times per second, potentially switching its electronic, magnetic or optical properties on and off.
