Doctoral student contributes to global ocean-predator study

Olivia Graham joined five-dozen scientists on four continents to create a marine biology first: a global map to show where the ocean’s mid-sized predators are most active in a climate-changing world.

Researchers 3D-print biomedical parts with supersonic speed

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.

Students from across disciplines forge Cornell Blockchain

Undergrads from the School of Hotel Administration collaborated with students from a range of disciplines to create Cornell Blockchain, a club that aims to develop the next generation of blockchain leaders.

Engineer to model sunshine deflection for cooling planet
