A Cornell-led research team has proposed a way to measure the forces between the particles that surround defects in colloidal crystals, which could help predict the behavior of materials under stress.
Cornell biological engineers have deciphered the cellular strategy to make the biofuel ethanol, using an anaerobic microbe feeding on carbon monoxide – a common industrial waste gas.
A top engineer from the city of Los Angeles visited Cornell July 20-22 as researchers tested a new earthquake-resilient pipeline designed to better protect southern California's water utility.
Immobilizing negatively charged ions in the polymer-like separators of rechargeable lithium batteries is shown to result in stable electrodeposition, even at relatively high current densities.
The key to curing multiple sclerosis may well lie in the mysterious signaling of lipids, a major component of cells, says Cornell chemist Jeremy Baskin.
Cornell researchers have helped develop a recellularized human colon model that could be used to track the pathogenesis of colon cancer and possibly gain insight into its spread to other organs.
Three pairs of early career scientists have been named the inaugural Mong Family Foundation Fellows in Neurotech. They will work jointly under the mentorship of faculty across Cornell to advance brain technologies.
Single-strand DNA sequencing method used for analyzing ancient remains applied by Cornell researchers to sequencing of cell-free DNA taken from plasma of transplant patients, resulting in greater yield of ultrashort cfDNA.
NASA’s Cassini and Huygen’s missions have provided a wealth of data about chemical elements found on Saturn’s moon Titan, and Cornell scientists have uncovered a chemical trail that suggests prebiotic conditions may exist there.
