As psychedelic drugs gain more support from the medical community as a potential treatment for severe depression, Cornell researchers are making crucial discoveries that explain how compounds such as psilocybin work on the brain.
A new Cornell study shows how drivers of water shortage, from melting snowpack to growing population demands, may impact Colorado’s West Slope River basins and Lake Powell – a major source of energy and water supply for 40 million people.
Researchers developed a potential replacement for the tiny copper interconnects in microchips: single-crystal nanowires that become better conductors the thinner they get.
Using James Webb Space Telescope observations, Cornell astronomers show that WD 1856 b, a planet that survived its star’s death, migrated later and has methane-rich atmosphere.
A $13.3 million grant from the NIH will support efforts to reveal how immune cells communicate within living tissues, which could shape new approaches for treating inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders and infections.
On July 1, the digital research respository arXiv, housed at Cornell Tech, will transition to an independent nonprofit, enabling faster technological development, expanded partnerships and long-term financial sustainability.
A late-night “Eureka” moment, a smashed computer and 17 years of persistence led researchers to achieve what many in microwave electronics had long considered out of reach: a tunable, low energy loss class of dielectric materials.
Thanks to a new civil and environmental engineering course, adjunct professor Charlie Trautmann helps students hone their engineering skills by designing and building a series of community bridges.
A delivery system that uses lipid nanoparticles to sneak proteins into cells can accomplish the same feat with smuggling therapeutic antibodies, new research has found.
