Georg Hoffstaetter de Torquat, professor of physics, is leading a $2.9 million Department of Energy grant project to train AI systems on computer models of two accelerators at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Cornell researchers used stretchable fiber-optic sensors to create a soft robot gripper that can predict the ripeness of strawberries by touch, then pick them without causing any damage.

Conversational AI tools denied blunt requests for harmful content by researchers posing as intimate partner abusers, but these guardrails were easily circumvented, a new Cornell Tech study has found.
