Researchers from Cornell University have confirmed that the mysterious Tunguska explosion was caused by a comet. In 1908, this explosion levelled 830 square miles of the Siberian forest. Now the new findings have been validated, strangely enough by the exhaust ...
Speeding Up Atomic-Level Microscopy
Scientists from Cornell and Boston Universities, headed by Keith Schwab, Associate Professor of Physics at Cornell University, have developed a new scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The microscope’s design is based on an existing technique, which is used in a novel ...
Self Modeling Robot
Researchers Josh Bongard, Victor Zykov, and Hod Lipson from the Computational Synthesis Lab at Cornell University have developed a self-modeling robot that can generate successful motor patterns for locomotion by creating an “internal model” of itself and then adapt itself ...
