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.
Cornell researchers are working to understand how robots can assist humans in dangerous and physically challenging environments, but the project, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, has been halted by a stop-work order.
Nominations are solicited annually from all members of the academic community, the awards bestowed in recognition of the importance of undergraduate advising.
Cornell geochemists and synthetic biologists have collaborated to improve the efficiency of microbes that can dissolve rocks to extract critical minerals while speeding carbon sequestration from air.
Cornell researchers have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of how a promising catalyst material transforms during operation, providing new insights that could lead to replacement of expensive precious metals in clean-energy technologies.
As Cornell moves forward with a large-scale expansion of Duffield Hall, the directorship of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Cornell Engineering has been named in honor of the late Ellis L. Phillips Sr., Class of 1895.
The third cohort of Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellows from Cornell will tackle critical scientific challenges in sustainability, the physical sciences and more.
The Center for Teaching Innovation published two series of adaptable case studies, from the Creative Teaching Awards and Provost’s Working Group for Innovation in Assessment, showcasing new Cornell faculty approaches to assessing student learning.
