Happy together: Peroxide binds incompatible polymers for recycling

Researchers developed an inexpensive and potentially scalable approach to bind together a pair of popular but incompatible polymers, thereby creating a more useful, high-quality plastic recycling additive.

AI tool accurately sorts cancer patients by their likely outcomes

A new artificial intelligence-based method accurately sorts cancer patients into groups that have similar characteristics before treatment and similar outcomes after treatment, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Novel molecular maneuver helps malaria parasite dodge the immune system

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can shut down a key set of genes, rendering itself “immunologically invisible” — sometimes for years.

Directory boosts usefulness of mobile phones, bottom lines, in rural Africa

New research out of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business shows that paper business telephone directories – similar to the Yellow Pages – in Tanzania boosted sales revenue by 104% for listed businesses and increased sales.

Research at risk: Building our future in space

A simulator - with real, hovering spacecraft - would have allowed researchers, companies and government agencies to test crucial space technologies, but a stop-work order from the federal government has halted construction. 

Smarter, faster AI models explored for molecular, materials discovery

Cornell researchers are demonstrating how artificial intelligence – particularly deep learning and generative modeling – can accelerate the design of new molecules and materials, and even function as an autonomous research assistant.

Impact funds offer a lower-risk proposition for private markets

Based on a new benchmark that analyzes risk exposure and performance, impact funds hold their own against traditional funds.
