Now divided between Romania and Ukraine, the region never fit easily among its neighbors, as regimes including the Habsburg Empire and the Soviet Union tried to remake it in their image.
As soil microbes break down plant residues, they produce a diverse set of molecules, but this diversity starts to fall after the initial phase of decomposition (roughly 32 days). Understanding how soils retain or emit carbon dioxide during this process may inform climate change resilience efforts.
A new study based on mathematical modeling reveals how parasites’ choice between using resources to replicate within hosts and transmitting to new mosquito and human hosts might limit their virulence.
The new method, Semi-Local Density Fingerprints (SLDFs), can predict molecular properties with up to 100 times more accuracy than the current most popular method for modeling molecules and materials.
The Department of Global Development and the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment have been combined to establish a new school: the Cornell CALS Ashley School of Global Development and the Environment.
People usually strive to be their true, authentic selves, but this fall, five master’s students at Cornell Tech adopted not only alter egos but also “bad intent,” in an effort to make AI safer for health workers serving people with diabetes.
