Cornell researchers have discovered a temporary molecular traffic system that starts embryos' organs growing in the proper direction and, without it, will trigger devastating diseases and defects.
To help farmers keep dairy cows cool, Cornell engineers are collaborating on a research project, based on the concept of conductive cooling, that could provide an alternative to fans, misters and sprinklers.
The recent decoding of the kiwifruit genome has discovered that the fruit has many genetic similarities to other plant species, including potatoes and tomatoes, among other surprises.
Plant breeder Ronnie Coffman has sown seeds of scientific and social change across continents and generations. Now his efforts are being recognized with the inaugural World Agriculture Prize.
Like nano-scale Navy Seals, Cornell scientists have merged tiny gold and iron oxide particles so that these alloyed allies can kill cancer cells with infrared heat.
Scientists from Cornell's R3 Group and other schools celebrated 10 years of genetic collaboration at the group's 10th anniversary conference on campus, Oct. 3-4.
Grape growers and food processors benefit from water sensors for accurate moisture readings. Cornell researchers have developed a fingertip-sized sensor that is a hundred times more sensitive than current devices, and they hope to produce it for as little as $5 each.
Scientists at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine are partnered with the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine to advance healing techniques and technologies for animals and humans.
The College of Veterinary Medicine will begin a $63 million capital project to upgrade and expand its infrastructure and teaching facilities to accommodate increasing the pre-clinical class sizes to 120 students from 102 students.
