In this week’s episode of Research Matters, Cornell professor Robert Shepherd explores a radically reimagined future of robotics – one built not from bolts and steel, but from living tissues, fungal networks and soft, 3D-printed materials.
Researchers have developed a bio-inspired approach to mixing heat and molecules in fluids – findings that could inform future biomedical devices, heat exchangers and soft robotics.
Students in a Duffield Engineering class are equipping a racing baton and a flying drone with Internet of Things technology to address challenges in and around Geneva, N.Y.
WatchHand, a wearable tech device developed by Cornell Bowers and Korean researchers, equips off-the-shelf smartwatches with AI-powered micro sonar capable of tracking hand movements.
A well-placed step can turn a high hurdle into an easier jump. The same idea applies to how nanoparticles transition into crystals, according to new research from the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering.
A new artificial intelligence framework developed at Cornell can accurately predict the performance of battery electrolytes while revealing the chemical principles that govern them, providing engineers with a new tool for designing better batteries.
With the 2026 Newton Lacy Pierce Prize, the American Astronomical Society recognizes Anna Y. Q. Ho’s pioneering investigations of extreme explosions powered by stellar death.
