In the face of climate change, growing commercial crops under acres of solar panels is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can boost food production and improve panel longevity.
A simple model that simultaneously simulates swarming behaviors and synchronized timing takes a step toward engineering microrobots and furthering our understanding of such phenomena in biology.
Their analysis of James Webb Space Telescope data produced a serendipitous discovery: a previously hidden galaxy that seems to have hosted multiple generations of stars despite its young age, estimated at 1.4 billion years old.
Researchers studying statistics applications in systems biology and next-generation wireless technology are among the nine Cornell faculty members who’ve received National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Awards.
Streets and neighborhoods that are friendlier to walkers and bikers increase physical activity but have limited benefit outside urban centers, Cornell research finds.
Disabling a single regulatory gene in a species of sea anemone caused a cell used for hunting and self-defense to completely shift its form and function, opening a door to better understanding evolutionary mechanisms, according to a new study.
An interdisciplinary collaboration used a materials science approach to “fingerprint” calcium mineral deposits that reveal pathological clues to the progression of breast cancer and potentially other diseases.
Current instrumentation being sent to Mars to collect and analyze evidence of ancient life on the red planet might not be sensitive enough to make accurate assessments, according to an international research team co-led by a Cornell astronomer.
A pair of researchers in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior are designing new technology and research methods to discover how brain circuits support learning and memory.
