The way bugs and birds flap their wings may look effortless, but the dynamics that keep them aloft are dizzyingly complex and ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a 3D computational model that decodes the complex ...

A new study from Cornell University is shedding light on one of nature’s most complex feats — flight — and could open the ...

A computer model from Cornell University makes it easier to develop stably flying flapping robots.

Robotics researchers regularly turn to the natural world for inspiration, and those working on machines that fly are no different. An international team of scientists has taken this approach to ...

Researchers showed that radar can identify insects like bees, bumblebees, and wasps by reading their wingbeat patterns.

Small migrating birds save energy as they fly. Large birds, such as storks, save energy on the flight to their wintering grounds by soaring through the air on thermal currents. Until now, however, we ...
