Scientists have sequenced the complete genome of a roundworm used extensively in biological research, opening a new pathway for synthetic biologists to build and test genetic changes in a multicellular animal species.
New research from the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business found that in Korea, where entertainment agencies or producers play a dominant role in shaping the image of K-pop groups, the agency’s status affects the group’s ability to change their style and music genre.
Out of love for their daughters and their alma mater, Cornell faculty Mao Ye, Ph.D. '11, and Xi Yang, Ph.D. '10, created the Cornelia Ye and Christine Ye Outstanding Teaching Assistant Awards.

Cornell’s Steel Bridge Team excelled in the 2024 AISC competition with a 216-pound bridge that supported 2,500 pounds, placing first in lightness. Key to their success was access to the LASSP Student Machine Shop, where expert support and flexible hours enabled fast, high-quality fabrication and extra time for testing and refinement.
In a new study, researchers detail their novel approach for both detecting and controlling the motion of spins within antiferromagnets using 2D antiferromagnetic materials and tunnel junctions, which could lead to ultra-fast information transfer and communications at much higher frequencies.
On Aug. 8-9, Claire de Boer ’84 will swim the full length of the lake, as she did in 1984, but with a slight twist: She’ll do it as part of a two-person relay, and do it as a fundraiser for a local organization that supports mental health initiatives.
