Researchers control metal microstructure for better 3D printing

Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, but Cornell researchers have uncovered a way to control these transformations.

How SARS-CoV-2 evolved through the pandemic

A new study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar reveals how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved from initially prioritizing increased transmissibility to enhanced immune evasion after the Omicron variant emerged.

Cancer’s ripple effect may promote blood clots in lungs

Blood clots form in response to signals from the lungs of cancer patients – not from other organ sites, as previously thought – according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and University of California San Diego Health.

‘Structural poverty’ maps could steer help to world’s neediest

A new mapping approach piloted by Cornell researchers could help policymakers identify where people live in extreme poverty and target resources more effectively.

Chaotic springs, long summers mean uncertainty for NY grape growers

Warmer autumns and more “false” springs are disrupting the signals grapevines rely on to gain cold hardiness for the winter and blossom effectively in the spring, according to new research from Cornell AgriTech.

The key to some nations’ public support for mental health care

In a new book, Isabel Perera explains why after deinstitutionalization, some affluent democracies failed to provide adequate services for the severely mental ill while others expanded care.

Mapping of blood vessel cells may yield diabetes treatments

The resulting atlas advances basic research on the biology of the pancreas and could lead to new treatment strategies for diabetes and other pancreatic diseases.

X-ray study sheds light on cost-effective fuel cell materials

Cornell researchers have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of how a promising catalyst material transforms during operation, providing new insights that could lead to replacement of expensive precious metals in clean-energy technologies.

Power of babble: Babies elicit simpler speech from adults

Across languages and cultures, parents simplify their speech in response to babies’ babbling and early speech, supporting language development, new Cornell research finds.
