As the world seeks to avoid climate extremes, employing state-of-the art agricultural technology could result in more than 13 billion tons of net negative greenhouse gas emissions annually.
Researchers have developed collectives of microrobots - each slightly larger than a hair's width - capable of reconfiguring their swarm behavior to move in circles, bunch up into a clump, spread out like gas or form a straight line like beads on a string.
For their work inventing heart-assist devices and biomaterials for tissue regeneration, respectively, Cornell Engineering professors James Antaki and Yadong Wang have been elected fellows of the National Academy of Inventors.
Quantum electrodynamics can explain the puzzling first observations of polarized X-rays emitted by a neutron star with a powerful magnetic field, according to a Cornell astrophysicist.
Assistant Professor Sadaf Sobhani is leading a $50,000 FuzeHub grant in partnership with ceramic 3D-printing company Lithoz America and energy startup Dimensional Energy to develop 3D-printed ceramics for clean energy reactors.
Using artificial intelligence, Cornell engineers have simplified models that accurately gauge the fine particulate matter in urban air pollution – exhaust from cars and trucks that get into human lungs.
Through their work on the dynamics of liquid mixtures, scientists have developed a new approach to the problem of cleaning sensitive, electronic surfaces.
A new vaccine distribution model expands the concept of vaccine coverage to include vaccinated person-days, which prioritize both the number of people vaccinated and the speed of getting shots into arms.
