New view of lymph nodes shows immune cells in real time

Cornell researchers have for the first time imaged the entire depth of the lymph nodes in a living mouse using three-photon microscopy, which enabled them to observe the dynamic interactions of immune cells.

Engineers propose greener recycling for medical PPE waste

Forget incineration or landfills. To resolve the increasing, never-ending waste stream of medical PPE as a result of the pandemic, Cornell engineers suggest recycling via pyrolysis.

Physical systems perform machine-learning computations

Cornell researchers have found a way to train physical systems, ranging from computer speakers and lasers to simple electronic circuits, to perform machine-learning computations, such as identifying handwritten numbers and spoken vowel sounds.

Helping humanities students explore careers beyond academia

By graduation, humanities Ph.D. students often see only a path to a faculty or research career. The Graduate School offers programs to illuminate careers in industry, government, non-profits and more.

Gender bias in lab groups not rooted in personal preference

A team led by Natasha Holmes, the Ann S. Bowers Assistant Professor, set out to interview and survey physics undergraduates to see what role their preferences play in the well-documented gender disparities in physics lab courses. 

First generation graduate students give back

The First Generation and Low Income Graduate Student Organization partnered with the Tompkins Cortland Community College to offer programming over the fall semester as part of their ongoing outreach initiatives.
