Cornell engineers use tiny vibrating beams to rethink AI hardware

Cornell researchers have developed a computing device that stores information electrically but reads it through tiny mechanical motion, an approach that could open a path toward more energy-efficient hardware for AI and scientific computing.

Study clarifies how atmospheric dust shapes climate

New research from a team of scientists led by Cornell is transforming how researchers understand one of the atmosphere’s most abundant and least understood constituents: mineral dust.

Grant aims to transform care for young cancer survivors

Weill Cornell Medicine received a five-year, $5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to develop innovative support strategies for an understudied group of cancer patients: adolescents and young adults. 

Improved embryo freezing technique could preserve endangered species

The new freezing method – 30 times faster than current protocols – could be used to improve assisted reproduction in humans or animals or to conserve biodiversity.

DNA “nicks” make for safer, more precise genetic analysis

Cornell researchers developed a safer and more precise way to study how genes function in living tissues by refining a recently developed CRISPR-based genetic technique in fruit flies, enabling researchers to better study how genes contribute to development and disease.
