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. Read more
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. Read more
Max Zhang and students will work with EPA experts over the next year on a machine learning model to predict fossil fuel emissions. Read more
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. Read more
Cornell graduate David Charles Fairbanks ’50 was posthumously inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame. Read more
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. Read more
Blossom, a simple, expressive, inexpensive robot platform developed by Cornell researchers, can be made from a kit and creatively outfitted with handcrafted materials. Read more
A visionary 19th-century academic and innovator whose contributions helped usher mechanical engineering into the modern era, Thurston turned Cornell into the largest and most prominent mechanical engineering program in the country. Read more
Five Cornell doctoral candidates have been inducted into the Cornell chapter of the Edward A. Bouchet Graduate Honor Society. Read more
NASA’s Management and Development of Spacesuits audit in 2017 noted that NASA continues to manage an array of design and health risks associated with the current suit worn in space, the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU). A new intelligent hybrid SmartSuit design proposed by Dr. Ana Diaz Artiles from Texas A&M University has the potential to solve some of these issues. Her co-investigator, Dr. Robert Shepherd, associate professor at Cornell University, will analyze material and mechanical metrics for manufacturing the SmartSuit and will also perform preliminary experimental validation of its...
