Cornell researchers have developed a new transistor architecture that could reshape how high-power wireless electronics are engineered, while also addressing supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical semiconductor material.
The new initiative will support finance and insurance innovations that provide producers and agribusinesses with science-based strategies that strengthen soil health, improve water use efficiency, and build farmer resiliency to extreme weather events.
Glitches during face-to-face video calls – even when the glitch does not affect the transmission of information – can shatter the illusion of being across the table from the other person, evoking “uncanniness,” new Cornell-led research finds.
In 2025, four companies with Cornell-originated technologies — SafetyStratus, Bactana Corporation, Guard Medical and Halo Labs — were acquired by global corporate partners, allowing Cornell technologies to reach broader markets.
Dr. Despina Siolas, assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and an oncologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, is working on personalizing treatment for pancreatic cancer, which is often diagnosed too late.
To equip astronauts with health choices for future missions, a Cornell postdoctoral fellow is leading research with AstroCup, a group that recently tested two menstrual cups in spaceflight as payload on an uncrewed rocket flight.
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.
