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.
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.
Fourteen members of Cornell’s faculty and staff are being recognized this year with Community-Engaged Practice and Innovation Awards from the David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement.
A Cornell-led collaboration used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance.
Robert John Sullivan, Jr., one of the world’s foremost authorities on aeolian processes – how wind can carve and change a landscape – died Feb. 15 in Ithaca of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He was 63.
Researchers have found that quantum systems in a frozen state can be stabilized long enough to be a useful strategy for preserving information before it disappears.
Researchers demonstrated how a swarm of microrobots spinning on a water surface can together generate the fluidic torque needed to manipulate passive structures without any physical contact.

The Gustavus John Esseln Award for Chemistry in the Public Interest from the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society honors outstanding achievement in scientific and technical work that contributes to public well-being.
Researchers discovered electron transfer in electroactive bacteria is mediated by CymA proteins’ ability to synchronize and form a biomolecular condensate in the cell’s inner membrane.
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.
Five Cornell faculty members are among 126 early-career researchers across North America who have won 2026 Sloan Research Fellowships from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
Immunotherapy has not worked well against fibrolamellar carcinoma, but a new study finds an existing FDA-approved drug may allow the treatment to fight the cancer as intended.
