New information could lead to bacteria-based platforms that recycle plastic and plant waste
Social scientist and synthetic biologist collaborate to tackle a global challenge
Trial shows viral suppression is not achieved through increased case management alone
New class of materials has ‘no counterpart or analogue in nature’
A key ingredient to lithium-ion batteries’ supply chain is not built to last
Bandage also monitors the healing process, alerting clinicians to issues in real time
New insights could advance microfluidics and drug delivery systems
In the course of experiments to test how well commercial bumblebees pollinate early spring crops, researchers made a surprising discovery: dead wild bumblebee queens in the hives, an average of 10 per nest box.
Scientists have detected a layer of melted rock encircling the Earth below its tectonic plates. Patches of the layer were known to exist, but a new study by a group of universities including Cornell has for the first time revealed its global extent.
Wash your hands. Wear a high-quality mask. Keep 6 feet between you and others. Meet outside when possible.
A synthetic biosensor found in cell membranes and provides an electronic readout of activity.
The ongoing search for signs of life on Mars relies in part on terrestrial analogs – places on Earth closely resembling the past or current geology and climate of the red planet that can be readily explored.
Cornell researchers have unearthed precise, microscopic clues to where magma is stored, offering scientists – and government officials in populated areas – a way to better assess the risk of volcanic eruptions.
There are stark differences between metals, through which electrons flow freely, and electrical insulators, in which electrons are essentially immobile.
Surgery that removes only a portion of one of the five lobes that comprise a lung is as effective as the traditional surgery that removes an entire lobe for certain patients with early-stage lung cancer, a new study has found.
MicroRNA (miRNA) molecules in pancreatic islets have been thought to play important roles in Type 2 diabetes, but until now scientists have not confidently identified which miRNAs are associated with the disease in humans.
Numerous studies have shown that exposure to nature can improve mental health and well-being. A new study from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology dug a little deeper, looking at what kind of nature experiences were associated with a greater sense of well-being during the COVID pandemic.
A new all-dry polymerization technique uses reactive vapors to create thin films with enhanced properties, such as mechanical strength, kinetics and morphology.
Materials scientists at Cornell have developed a method for better understanding the complex electrochemical reactions that occur at the interface of water and metal surfaces – an approach that will ultimately lead to better fuel cells and other electrochemical technologies.
Metal oxide nanoparticles – ubiquitous in nature, and commonly used as food coloring and anti-caking agents in the commercial ingredients industry – may damage and disturb parts of the human intestine, according to new research conducted by Cornell and Binghamton University scientists.
