Researchers from Boyce Thompson Institute have collected the genome sequences of 725 different wild tomato types to create a pangenome, which will help breeders develop better strains.
A decade ago, Cornell opened the doors of a pioneering new building, a home for innovative and collaborative life sciences research. The $162 million, 265,000-square-foot Weill Hall.
New research by physics and astronomy professor Eanna Flanagan, published last month in Physical Review D, identifies new ways to detect the passage of gravitational waves via their effect on matter.
The student-run symposium recognizes research achievement and provides a venue for undergraduates to communicate their work in a scholarly environment.
A Cornell researcher is collaborating on an unprecedented study examining Facebook data to look for patterns in “problematic sharing” – posting links to stories that have already been flagged or proven false – to determine whether this activity spikes around elections or terrorist attacks.
Students at the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine can now get a leg up in learning equine anatomy, thanks to a custom-designed app created at the college.
A visionary 19th-century academic and innovator whose contributions helped usher mechanical engineering into the modern era, Thurston turned Cornell into the largest and most prominent mechanical engineering program in the country.
New research led by psychology professor Melissa Ferguson, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers a roadmap for dealing with “fake news.”
While sifting through the bacterial genome of salmonella, Cornell food scientists discovered mcr-9, a stealthy jumping gene so diabolical that it resists one of the world’s few last-resort antibiotics.
