As part of the “CROPPS-in-a-Box” hackathon — an intensive, weeklong event hosted by the Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems — students in engineering, computer science and plant biology collaborated to build a working prototype that could detect when a plant is in distress.
Cynthia Dwork, a computer scientist at Harvard University and pioneer of modern data privacy, will present three public lectures at Cornell May 5-7 as part of the University and Messenger Lecture Series.
In collaboration with farmers, researchers found that emission intensities from New York state dairy farms were lower per gallon of milk than national estimates and among the lowest reported across continents.
A new study from Cornell on AI writing assistants finds these tools have the potential to function poorly for billions of users in the Global South by generating generic language that makes them sound more like Americans.
A new publicly available tool uses data from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird program to track and estimate the diversity of wild bees across the eastern and central U.S. - with implications for conservation and agriculture.
The way DNA folds inside the nucleus of brain cells may hold the key to understanding a devastating form of brain cancer called glioblastoma, suggests a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.
Researchers found that at low levels of mercury, selenium additions did seem to help mayfly larva from accumulating mercury. But at high mercury levels – the condition in which environmental remediation is most needed – selenium actually made mercury accumulation worse.
Provost Kavita Bala and professors Anurag Agrawal and Dr. M. Virginia Pascual have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the academy announced on April 23.
Researchers have created a computer model that can help produce farms and food processing facilities control COVID-19 outbreaks, keeping workers safe and the food chain secure.
