The team created and tested a new imaging approach which integrates information about where objects might be located with sonar processing algorithms that decide the optimal views. Read more
A new Forklift Learning Studio at Cornell will be used to elevate engineering education, turning the vehicles into interactive tools for studying thermofluids, modeling structural mechanics, and experimenting with control dynamics. Read more
The award will enable research into a type of additive manufacturing that smashes together material particles at supersonic speed. Read more
A Cornell-designed probe shows how water vapor penetrates powders and grains – a finding that could have wide-ranging applications in pharmaceutical research, agriculture and food processing, and planetary exploration. Read more
Embodied energy could change the field of robotics, according to a Nature perspective authored by researchers from Cornell's Organic Robotics Lab. Read more
Three assistant professors from Cornell Engineering have been selected from more than 220 applicants to receive Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program awards, which recognizes academic achievement and potential for significant scientific breakthrough. Read more
A new Cornell study could help inform the development of offshore wind farms by providing detailed models characterizing the frequency, intensity and height of low-level jet streams over the Atlantic coast. Read more
Following a successful weather balloon test, Cornell students have begun building the final version of Alpha CubeSat – a small satellite that will carry a first-of-its-kind light sail and hologram-embossed solar panels. Read more
The Cornell Space Systems Design Studio is preparing to launch a pair of low-cost, modular satellites into low Earth orbit, where they will drift apart by up to 30 kilometers and then, using custom software, locate each other’s position, fire their thrusters and dock together. Read more
Mason Peck, an astronautics professor at Cornell University, said that until the last five years making things in space and bringing them back to Earth just didn't make sense. "Now there are companies... who are actually focused on this question: How can I make a buck in space?" he told AFP. Read more
