Cornell engineers have created a synthetic vascular system for soft robots capable of pumping an energy-dense hydraulic liquid that stores and deploys energy in an integrated design.
A Cornell-led team has developed a way to use machine learning to analyze data generated by scanning tunneling microscopy, yielding new insights into how electrons interact and showing how machine learning can be used to further discovery in experimental quantum physics.
A new type of treatment for osteoarthritis, currently in canine clinical trials, shows promise for eventual use in humans.
The American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences will honor Cornell astronomy professor Phil Nicholson with the 2019 Harold Masursky Award.
Published research by chemist Nozomi Ando, performed at CHESS, has identified a new vulnerability in bacteria that offers a possible avenue for dealing with antibiotic resistance.
Projects ranging from a soil-swimming robot that can sense conditions in the root zone in real time to computational models that can predict produce spoilage received seed funds from the Cornell Initiative for Digital Agriculture’s new Research Innovation Fund.
Instead of uncovering scientific answers, the spectral images from a Cassini flyby of Saturn’s rings triggered more questions than answers, says new research published June 13 in Science.
A hybrid system using geothermal energy for both heating and electricity could reduce campus greenhouse emissions around 25% more than using it just for heating, potentially bringing Cornell close to its goal of carbon neutrality, according to new research.
Just 10 taxis equipped with mobile sensors can survey a third of Manhattan’s streets in a day, inexpensively gathering valuable data about factors such as air quality, street conditions and bridge stability to provide an accurate and timely snapshot of a city’s health, according to a new study including a Cornell researcher.
Cornell researchers express hope for the future of Houston’s breathable air: By replacing at least 35% of the city’s gasoline cars and diesel trucks with electric vehicles by 2040, Houstonians could breathe easier.
Four new faculty projects have been selected to receive funding for collaborative, cross-disciplinary opportunities for learning and research in New York City.
Friends and colleagues gathered June 1 to honor engineering professor and nanofabrication pioneer Harold Craighead, who will become an emeritus professor on July 1.
Eighteen Cornell doctoral students from 13 fields of study have received 2019-20 Engaged Graduate Student Grants to support community-engaged research relevant to their dissertations.
Demonstrating a new type of space technology, 105 of the world’s smallest free-flying satellites have just completed orbiting Earth, sending short signals received by a ground station at Cornell.
Max Zhang and students will work with EPA experts over the next year on a machine learning model to predict fossil fuel emissions.
A $10 million gift from the Fleming family will establish the Samuel C. Fleming Molecular Engineering Laboratories, a new state-of-the-art lab spanning the entire north wing of Olin Hall.
The debate over how one of the most popular osteoarthritis treatments should be federally regulated could change, thanks to Cornell research that provides a better understanding of the science behind hyaluronic acid injections.
Five doctoral students in engineering will spend a fully funded semester examining the business prospects for a diverse array of Cornell technologies as the newest class of commercialization fellows.
Cornell graduate David Charles Fairbanks ’50 was posthumously inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame.
While solar farms help summer electricity demand, Cornell engineers caution that upstate winters could prompt “ramping” – bursts of sudden increases or decreases in electricity demand.
