A grant from the Ono Pharma Breakthrough Science Initiative, which supports bold new ideas in science, will help Cornell researchers study how chemical modifications to proteins play a powerful role in cell survival.
Two types of parasites that often use deer as hosts, but rarely lead to illness in them, are much more problematic in moose, where they can cause many symptoms and be fatal.
Peter John Loewen, the Harold Tanner Dean of Arts and Sciences, shared takeaways from his decade-long AI research during a lecture kicking off the Cornell University School of Continuing Education’s Summer Events Series.
The technology, developed by a Cornell doctoral candidate, can simulate conversations with different accents and dialects and gives feedback to users on their grammar and pronunciation.
Cornell researchers have developed a two-phase liquid crystal system that can rapidly change – and hold – its shape, transforming from a transparent thin liquid film to an opaque emulsion, and then back again, all with a brief jolt of a high-frequency electric field.
A new study examines how a cyanobacteria manipulates its environment to give itself advantages to take over the water column, leading to harmful algal blooms and mats in lakes during hot summers.
Scientists have sequenced the complete genome of a roundworm used extensively in biological research, opening a new pathway for synthetic biologists to build and test genetic changes in a multicellular animal species.
