Cornell researchers used stretchable fiber-optic sensors to create a soft robot gripper that can predict the ripeness of strawberries by touch, then pick them without causing any damage.
Jonathan Butcher, the Joseph N. Pew Jr. Professor in Engineering in the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, has been named this year’s recipient of the Kaplan Family Distinguished Faculty Fellowship from the Einhorn Center.
A new exhibit in the downstairs of Fuertes Observatory allows visitors to view 800 glass lantern slides uncovered and catalogued by the Cornell Astronomical Society.
William L. Maxwell ’57, Ph.D. ’61, the Andrew Schultz Jr. Professor Emeritus of Industrial Engineering and a pioneer in the field of simulation and scheduling, died March 31 in Indiana, Pennsylvania. He was 91.
Thirty-four years after Cornell scientists first conceived it, the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope now rises above the Atacama Desert.
A team of geophysicists from Cornell, Cameroon and South Africa is using machine learning tools to unearth new information from earthquake data collected by Cornell 15 years ago – providing a lifeline for a scholar whose career was upended by conflict.
A new study finds that the global shift to electric vehicles could significantly reduce energy use and carbon emissions, but only if governments act aggressively to lower costs and align policies across regions.
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 new study shows how tiny changes in atomic structure can strongly influence whether a material becomes superconducting.
A $9.5 million investment in the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility from Duffield Engineering will position the facility for its next era of leadership in semiconductor research, education and workforce training.
An autonomous artificial intelligence platform developed at Cornell streamlines materials research by quickly identifying key features in a microscopy image.
Doctoral student Cátia Dombaxe is bringing badly needed practical science education to impoverished areas of Angola through the STEAMpact Foundation, a nonprofit she founded in 2024.
Nobel Laureate John M. Martinis will speak about his research in quantum mechanics from 5-6 p.m. April 8 in the Rhodes-Rawlings Auditorium, Room KG70 in Klarman Hall.
Since the early days of modern cosmic exploration, Cornell scientists have led the way, from guiding rovers through the red dust of Mars to searching for other life in the universe; and from modeling exotic stars to detecting the faint ripples of gravitational waves.
Engineering professor Lara Estroff and plant science professor Klaas van Wijk have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest general scientific society.
A bubble bath with a constant acoustic sound in the water may be the best chemical-free, gentle method for cleaning agricultural produce.
Bruce Clemens '72, a co-founder of Aqua del Pueblo, is the guest for the March Startup Cornell podcast.
Cornell researchers have developed a non-precious-metal catalyst that represents a major step toward alkaline fuel cells that use inexpensive commodity metals, such as nickel and cobalt, in several energy applications.
Cornell scientists have engineered E. coli to act as a sensitive biosensor for monitoring environmental arsenic, a toxic pollutant.
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.
