Nicola Dell, associate professor at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech, and novelist Ling Ma, MFA ’16, have been awarded 2024 MacArthur Foundation fellowships — more commonly known as “genius grants.”
The Brooks Tech Policy Institute has received $3 million from the Department of Defense to establish the U.S. Semiconductor Research Hub, which will assess and improve the resilience of the global network of semiconductor infrastructure.
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 Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility has enabled scientists and engineers from academia and industry to conduct groundbreaking research, thanks to continuous support from the National Science Foundation. But that funding is now at risk.
Researchers found people who are socially rich, with strong social support but whose family had less money, and those who are economically rich, having more money but less social support, take similar levels of risk but activate different parts of their brains.
Students in the SoNIC program developed new models to help people with impaired vision to identify objects around them and citizen scientists to recognize bird species.
Researchers at Cornell Bowers CIS found that repair and maintenance should be central in the design of social robots, as reuse keeps robots working longer and brings robot owners together and fosters social bonds among them.
Cornell Engineering is rapidly becoming a leader in engineering education research, a field dedicated to designing effective education systems and learning experiences for students. The insights emerging from this work have the potential to redefine engineering education on campus and far outside it.
A new program at Cornell will tackle critical environmental challenges by integrating advanced AI tools with sustainability research across the campus, thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation’s Research Traineeship Program.
