Cornell Engineering researchers went found two distinct defects in gallium nitride, one of which can be manipulated for quantum applications.
Fast-charging lithium battery developed to reduce range anxiety for EVs
Cornell researchers have created a lithium battery that can charge in under five minutes while remaining stable to help reduce range anxiety about electric vehicles (EVs).
Borehole to reveal viability of campus’s geothermal future
Cornell University is breaking ground on its geothermal energy efforts in order to be carbon-neutral by 2035 with a 2-mile borehole to determine feasibility.
3D-printing robot can make construction more sustainable
Cornell researchers have developed an industrial robot capable of 3D printing large-scale structures that could make the construction industry more efficient and sustainable.
Electrostatic engineering gets the lead out for faster batteries
A Cornell-led research collaboration discovered an approach for making a lead-free antiferroelectric that performs as well as its toxic relatives.
How defects can strengthen 3D-printed material
Cornell University researchers have found improving 3D-printed metal by introducing more defects into the printing process results in a stronger, more ductile metal product.
Stretchable sensor gives robots and VR a human touch
A fiber-optic sensor that combines low-cost LEDs and dyes has been created by Cornell researchers, which results in a stretchable “skin” that detects deformations such as pressure, bending and strain.
Researchers create 3D-printed, sweating robot muscle
Cornell researchers have created a soft robot muscle that can regulate its temperature through sweating, which can enable high-powered robots to operate for long periods of time without overheating.
Optical lace developed to heighten robots’ sensors
Cornell University researchers are using optical lace to create a linked sensory network similar to a biological nervous system for robots to improve their actions.
