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.
Cornell researchers developed an imaging tool to create intricate spatial maps of the locations and identities of hundreds of different microbial species, such as those that make up the gut microbiome.
The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility enables scientists and engineers from academia and industry to conduct micro- and nanoscale research with state-of-the-art technology and expertise from its technical staff. But perhaps the facility’s greatest breakthrough is helping launch startup companies in New York state.
Graduate students in six fields of study have designed an evolution lesson on speciation for undergraduate non-majors that applies active-learning techniques. The lesson was published in CourseSource.
Cornell has been chosen to host the 51 Pegasi b Postdoctoral Fellowship in Planetary Astronomy, which provides up to eight postdoctoral scientists per year up to $375,000 of support over three years.
