Ag tech can cut billions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions

As the world seeks to avoid climate extremes, employing state-of-the art agricultural technology could result in more than 13 billion tons of net negative greenhouse gas emissions annually.

Promising quantum state found during error correction research

Cornell researchers unexpectedly discovered the presence of “quantum spin-glass” while conducting research designed to learn more about quantum algorithms and, relatedly, new strategies for error correction in quantum computing.

New research sheds light on origins of social behaviors

Cornell biologists report that fruit flies’ visual system, not just chemical receptors, is deeply involved in their social behaviors, which sheds light on the possible origin of differences in human social behaviors, such as those seen in people with autism.

From bottom up, bureaucrats elevate climate change as priority

Staff have reoriented international organizations to tackle climate change more aggressively despite member states’ disagreement on how to address the issue, new Cornell research finds.

Study finds how some ion channels form structures permitting drug delivery

A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

New York at Work details state employment research, policies

Comparing ‘sister’ compounds may hold key to quantum puzzle

In two new papers, an international collaboration of researchers including Cornell physicists explain, on the microscopic level, why “Planckian” scattering of electrons occurs in some materials but not in others.

‘Status Symbols’ in online debates can create bias

New research involving machine learning determined that the persuasive power of “symbolic status” from virtual badges in online debates has the potential to create an imbalance of power.
