Cornell Tech researchers deployed “trashbots” in Brooklyn for two weeks in July. The goal of the experiment was to see how people interact with, and make sense of, service robots in public spaces. The cleaning was an added bonus.
For her research developing optimization algorithms, modeling and statistical analysis to address a wide range of environmental problems, Christine Shoemaker, professor emeritus, has received the INFORMS Harold Hotelling Medal for Lifetime Achievement and the SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences Career Prize.
Cornell is one of six universities receiving a total of $20 million over five years to form an institute aiming to create more climate-smart practices that will curb greenhouse gas emissions while boosting the agriculture and forestry industries.
The next-generation Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses collection is available for customers to buy online and in stores starting today. The new glasses feature improved audio and cameras.
The newly upgraded Linac Coherent Light Source X-ray free-electron laser at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has produced its first X-rays, and researchers are ready to kick off an ambitious science program.
Cornell researchers constructed a simple model containing exotic particles called non-Abelian anyons, compact and practical enough to run on modern quantum hardware.
Enabled by a custom thermometer, Cornell researchers have observed superfluid fluctuation effects, possibly gaining new insight for quantum computing and the physics of the early universe.
