At a Zoom event hosted by the Cornell College Republicans, Love discussed her background and career as a two-term Congresswoman, but largely focused on what she sees as the importance of pro-life policies.
In the middle of a global pandemic, people now, more than ever, are invested in understanding how their immune system works.
As Cornell’s campus face the reality of a fall semester with COVID-19, Cornell’s religious groups are creating support groups via Zoom.
On the first day of surveillance testing, many students are already facing long lines and a malfunctioning Daily Check system.
The Young Researchers Program saw its audience expand after moving virtually.
Across the nation, classes have begun to transition towards being fully online. In response to the worsening spread of COVID-19, Commencement plans have been affected as well, throughout of the Ivy League.
In a visit to Cornell’s campus, Ithaca mayor Svante Myrick ’09 discussed Ithaca’s Green New Deal, along with climate change and socioeconomic inequality.
With Elon Musk-esque dreams of promoting the exploration and eventual settlement on Mars, the Cornell Mars Rover project team crafts rovers designed to analyze rocks for signs of life and for repairing spacecrafts.
In the early 20th century, 3,500 gallons of milk, which was purchased from local farmers, would be ready for packaging each day. At the Cornell Dairy Bar of 1928, customers had two flavor options: white, with no added flavor, or a chocolate mix.
While machines seem to have boundless capabilities, there has been one factor limiting machines since their inception: heat. Cornell engineers, Prof. Rob Shepherd, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and Prof. Emmanuel Giannelis, material science and engineering, sought to battle heat through sweating — the same method employed by students walking up the slope on a hot summer day. Shepherd and Gianelis employed 3D-printing techniques to stimulate sweating in robots, which they are currently testing on a robotic hand. High powered robots currently require maintenance after extended use because of the heat they build up during use. One of the collaborators from Shepherd’s Organic Robotics Lab, Anand Mishra, told The Sun the initial research project was “bio-inspired” — the basic functions of living things influenced the researchers, prompting them to design this multifunctional robotic hand.
