The skies may soon be congested with drone traffic. A multidisciplinary team received a grant from NASA to develop new models to coordinate these drones, which may someday deliver packages - or even people.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially improve the sensitivity of quantum sensors and be used in other quantum devices.
A materials science and engineering student and his professor devised a low-cost, DIY way to increase the lifespan and efficiency of commercial photovoltaic modules: by lowering the panel’s operating temperature with phase-change materials.
During three events March 13-15, Lenka Zdeborová will explore how principles from statistical physics provide insights into challenging computational problems.
Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet. Its mission: to be tiny enough to interact with waves of visible light and still move independently, so that it can maneuver, and take images and measurements.
Mary Mulvanerton, long-time department manager for the Department of Astronomy and associate director of the Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science (CCAPS), passed away on March 6 at the age of 64.
The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility has partnered with two academic institutions to offer a free Microelectronics and Nanomanufacturing Certificate Program to veterans and their dependents.
Home to Cornell University Library’s Digital Scholarship Services, the Digital CoLab on the 7th floor of Olin Library stimulates innovation in research and teaching while building connections among scholars across campus. It follows one simple formula: “People over projects.”
