In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent Cornell research in battery development and design.
R. Keith Dennis, professor emeritus of mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences, died Dec. 12 following a prolonged battle with metastatic prostate cancer. He was 80.
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.”
The three-year postdoctoral fellowship, granted to Lígia Fonseca Coelho and Zach Ulibarri, provides recipients with resources, freedom, and flexibility to conduct theoretical, observational, and experimental research in planetary astronomy.
Cornell researchers have uncovered new details about how high-speed metallic collisions can form strong, durable atomic bonds, offering insights that could enhance 3D printing and other manufacturing techniques.
A year of hackathons kicks off Oct. 25-27 with the Food Hackathon in Stocking Hall, which focuses on finding solutions that address hunger, poor nutrition, food waste and other food-related challenges.
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.
Alfred H. Schatz, an emeritus professor of mathematics who taught at Cornell for nearly 50 years, died at home on Oct. 11 after a long bout with Parkinson’s disease. He was 90.
