The first-of-its-kind material not only expands and contracts like blood vessels but is also biodegradable; new vascular cells to grow around the graft as the body absorbs it.
Portobello, a new driving simulator developed by researchers at Cornell Tech, blends virtual and mixed realities, enabling both drivers and passengers to see virtual objects overlaid in the real world.
Cornell researchers built miniature VR headsets to immerse mice more deeply in virtual environments that can help reveal the neural activity that informs spatial navigation and memory function and generate new insights into disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and its potential treatments.
By examining Jupiter’s moon Io – the most volcanically active place in the solar system – Cornell astronomers can study a vital process in planetary formation and evolution: tidal heating.
A new NATO-funded effort led by assistant professor Greg Falco ’10 seeks to make the internet less vulnerable to disruption by rerouting its flow of information to space.
A Cornell team used a new form of high-resolution optical imaging to better understand how adsorption – i.e., the clinging of molecules to surfaces – works on the semiconductor titanium dioxide with a gold particle added as a co-catalyst.
As part of their “Voyager Spacecraft Week,” the Cornell Astronomical Society joins Cornell Cinema to present “Cosmos” Episode 6: “Traveler’s Tales” on Feb. 13.
Since 1986, STEP has been addressing the underrepresentation of marginalized students in science, technology, engineering and math through programs at more than 50 universities across New York.
