This is part of the Talks at Twelve series from the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research.

From the early days of online communities, many pundits envisioned a world where people could be more connected around the globe thanks to new technology. And yet, this is not the world that social media brought forth. After years of struggling with misinformation, political polarization, and rampant distrust in institutions, many have begun to wonder if social media might

Electronic conductivity of porous electrodes by Faradaic and non-Faradaic charge transfer processes impacts the energy and power densities and overall performance of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices. Carbon nanomaterials constitute an ideal material composite platform for integration with other solid-state electrode materials in power devices. Self-assembly has been recognized as an effective strategy for the bottom–up synthesis of 3D macrostructures using graphene and carbon nanotube as building blocks. The need for chemical precursor vaporization

Investigating prebiotic chemistry and the fundamental features of life like metabolism, information, self-reproduction, natural selection and computation, is significant within the origins of life research. In this context, one of the key elements constitutes the synthesis of chemistry-based natural-life-mimicking artificial or synthetic living systems, starting from a homogeneous aqueous blend of a few strictly non-biochemical compounds, using a technique called polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). In one of the studies, gradient sequence-controlled polymers were generated through PET-RAFT-PISA

We welcome you to the showcase of student works from DEA 6400: AI, Embodiment, and Design!  These works result from a design exploration of what AI may look like when it leaves the screen—by translating LLMs into tangible objects. You will have a chance to interact with this collection of imaginative, useful, or explorative artifacts. Schedule of these demos are as follows:

Open between Feb 10 - 20 at the Jill Stuart Gallery, Human

This exhibit is created by students who were enrolled in HIST 2452/6452 – Dress, Cloth and Identity in Africa and the Diaspora with Professor Judith Byfield and in collaboration with the Cornell Fashion + Textile Collection. It builds on the insightful scholarship produced by Joanne B. Eicher and Sandra Lee Evenson who argue that dress is more expansive than clothing. Dress they argue is anything we do to the body and the things we put

Re-formation, The Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholars Exhibit  features work by Kate Stiens, Liriana Nezaj, Roan Grace Harvey, Jr., Margaret Lily Watkins, and Margaret Pei-Ru Tsai. The exhibit is up in the Jill Stuart Gallery in the Human Ecology Building through Oct. 27.

Fibers are ubiquitous in daily life, from clothing and electrical cables to optical fibers and even biological systems like mussels. Beyond these conventional roles, fibers and textiles emerge as key enablers in technologies such as wearable electronics, robotics, clean energy, and water purification. Unlocking these advanced applications requires innovations across materials, design, manufacturing, and system integration. In this seminar, Dr. Shou will share some of their progress on scalable tactile textiles for human–environment interactions, advanced
