Manipulating mouse brains during sleep improved their ability to remember new experiences that would normally be forgotten – a finding with important implications for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
The federal research funding supporting projects across the university, including the development of a pediatric heart pump, has been restarted, but those lost months of work will have a lasting impact.
More than 20 years after its founding, the Center for Vertebrate Genomics (CVG) heard from a Cornellian who was there for its launch: President Michael I. Kotlikoff, who helped shape the university’s genomics landscape.
Cornell's Integrated Pest Management program is now in its fourth decade, growing from an effort to reduce pesticide use in agriculture into a statewide model for science-based, economically beneficial pest control to protect crops, public health and the environment.
Horses exposed early in life to an allergen were less likely to react when exposed again later in life, according to a new study of Icelandic horses at Cornell.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers determined that organic residues of plant oils are poorly preserved in calcareous soils from the Mediterranean, leading decades of archaeologists to likely misidentify olive oil in ceramic artifacts.
The color “ultrablack” has a variety of uses, including in cameras, solar panels and telescopes, but it’s difficult to produce and can appear less black when viewed at an angle. A Cornell lab has devised a simple method for making the elusive color.
A project led by Cornell’s Center for Point of Care Technologies for Nutrition, Infection and Cancer to develop a low-cost, battery-powered device for sample preparation in tuberculosis (TB) testing in areas with limited lab access and infrastructure, has received a $250,000 grant from the Gates Foundation.
