Helping to combat the rising threat of antibiotic resistance, Cornell biologists have identified a surprising mechanism that weakens bacteria from within—an insight that could guide the next generation of antibiotics as drug resistance rises worldwide.
The study found heart failure rates were higher in flooded areas, especially in New Jersey, and that the risk persisted for four to five years – not just weeks or months – after the storm.

An experimental vineyard at the Cornell Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory is becoming the university’s first living laboratory of precision, autonomy and sustainability, supporting the grape industry in New York and Pennsylvania.
A Cornell-led collaboration developed microscale magnetic particles that can mimic the ability of biomolecules to self-assemble into complex structures, while also reducing the parasitic waste that would otherwise clog up production.
Cornell researchers have uncovered the genetic triggers that cause male and female bovine embryos to develop differently, as early as seven to eight days after fertilization.
