In a new book, bioarcheologist Matthew Velasco argues that the reduction of head shape to a marker of ethnic identity has been a colonial invention, one that overlooked significant diversity in lived experience.
Cornell’s Center for Life Science Ventures (CLSV) has been nominated for a Prix Galien USA Award in the “Best Incubators, Accelerators and Equity” category.
Using Ithaca as a case study, researchers have demonstrated a software tool that can quickly model building energy use and simulate the most cost-effective strategies for improving efficiency and reducing emissions.
Cornell Engineering researchers have developed a low-power microchip they call a “microwave brain,” the first processor to compute on both ultrafast data signals and wireless communication signals by harnessing the physics of microwaves.
A Cornell research group has developed software that could let anyone with a camera-equipped mobile phone capture subtle changes over time – of, say, a construction site or the changing seasons – and turn them into a panoramic time-lapse video.
Cornell chemistry researchers have designed a light-powered, reusable catalyst that’s pre-charged by electricity and capable of driving challenging reactions, with applications including drug development and environmental clean-up.
Researchers developed machine-learning models that can sift through cell-free RNA and identify key biomarkers for chronic fatigue syndrome, a debilitating disease that is difficult to confirm in patients because its symptoms can be easily confused with those of other illnesses.
COVID-19 prevention methods such as masking and social distancing also suppressed the circulation of common respiratory diseases, leaving young children lacking immunity to pathogens they otherwise would have been exposed to, a new study reveals.
