Using broad race categories in medicine hides true health risks

Many medical studies record a patient’s race using only the broad categories from the U.S. Census, which may conceal racial health disparities, a new Cornell-led study reports.

Carbon dioxide – not water – triggers explosive volcanoes

Geoscientists have long thought that water helps to drive volcanoes to erupt. Now, thanks to new tools at Cornell, scientists show that carbon dioxide can induce explosive eruptions.

Mineralization of bone matrix regulates tumor cell growth

An interdisciplinary Cornell team has identified a new mechanism regulating tumor growth in the skeleton, the primary site of breast cancer metastasis: mineralization of the bone matrix.

Current takes a surprising path in quantum material

Cornell researchers used magnetic imaging to obtain the first direct visualization of how electrons flow in quantum anomalous Hall insulators, and by doing so they discovered the transport current moves through the interior of the material.

New support fund for astronomy graduate students announced

The Riccardo Giovanelli Graduate Student Support Fund was announced July 15 at “Gas-trophysics Across the Universe.”

Imaging shows how solar-powered microbes turn CO2 into bioplastic

Cornell researchers developed a multimodal platform to image microbe-semiconductor biohybrids with single-cell resolution, to better understand how they can be optimized for more efficient energy conversion.

James Webb Space Telescope sees Jupiter moons in a new light

With its sensitive infrared cameras and high-resolution spectrometer, the James Webb Space Telescope is revealing new secrets of Jupiter’s Galilean satellites – in particular Ganymede, the largest moon, and Io, the most volcanically active.
