A new fiber-optic sensor results in a stretchable “skin” that could give soft robotic systems the ability to feel the same sensations that mammals depend on to navigate the world. The sensor was developed by Associate Professor Rob Shepherd and his team.
A collaboration led by Assistant Professor Atieh Moridi has developed a 3D printing technique that creates cellular metallic materials by smashing together powder particles at supersonic speed that results in mechanically robust, porous structures that are 40% stronger than similar materials made with conventional manufacturing processes.
Douglas MacMartin will lead a team from the Cornell Climate Engineering group to model the effects of introducing reflective aerosols into the stratosphere, which could reduce Earth's temperature and limit the impact of climate change.
CHESS received $32.6M from NSF to build a High Magnetic Field beamline, which will allow researchers to conduct precision X-ray studies of materials in persistent magnetic fields. “This significant new infusion of NSF funding for Cornell’s CHESS lab will guarantee the preservation and expansion of its revolutionary scientific research in the heart of upstate New York,” said Senator Chuck Schumer.
Mechatronics looks a little different this year, students were mailed a kit of supplies including an oscilloscope, Arduino board, microprocessor, batteries and breadboards, to design and build their own devices with motors, circuits and sensors.
Max Zhang has been awarded a 2 ½-year, approximately $200,000 grant from NYSERDA for work aimed at determining efficient solar farm array configurations to avoid land-use conflicts or spoiling precious agricultural space.
Assistant Professor Sadaf Sobhani created a new manufacturing technique that uses a combination of computational modeling, porous structure design and 3D printing to precisely customize the porous network of porous ceramic materials.
Keith Green, professor in the Sibley School and the Department of Design and Environmental Analysis was named an Engaged Faculty Fellow, a group that is committed to advancing community-engaged learning and scholarship within their disciplines.
A team of researchers including David Erickson, the SC Thomas Sze Director in the Sibley School, designed a quick, non-invasive, mobile phone-based system to detect infectious diseases, inflammation and nutritional deficiencies that was awarded a $100,000 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Tech Accelerator Challenge prize.
The NSF has awarded $1.5 million to Cornell engineers to help bridge New York’s digital divide by designing the nation’s first statewide Internet of Things public infrastructure.
