Contrary to their own scientific intuition, Cornell researchers found that the body size of intertidal oysters went unchanged after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Cornell and Weill Cornell Medicine researchers report on the use of biomaterials-based organoids in an attempt to reproduce immune-system events and gain a better understanding of B cells.
A Cornell research group reports that a mechanical factor - stiffening of a cancer cell and its matrix - and not a chemical cause could contribute to metastasis in some forms of cancer.
Ankur Singh, assistant professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer, will receive the 2017 Young Investigator Award from the Society for Biomaterials.
Researchers from Cornell and the University of Virginia collaborated at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source in an effort to better understand the chemistry behind solar cells.
Computer science professor Hakim Weatherspoon has developed a system in which signals sent at the speed of light over fiber-optic cables keep data center computers in sync to within a few nanoseconds.
Dr. Michael Satlin at Weill Cornell Medicine and Ilana Brito in Ithaca are researching how to fight drug-resistant bacteria – "superbugs" that threaten cancer patients' fragile immune systems.
After 30 years and more than 500 peer-reviewed publications, the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source's CLEO detector has been removed and will resume data-collection at Jefferson Lab in Virginia.
