Inflammation may drive rare epileptic syndrome

An overactive immune response in the brain may play a role in Dravet syndrome, a rare and severe genetic epilepsy that typically begins in infancy, according to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

Cornell researchers teach ‘microwave brain’ a new language

One year after unveiling a first-of-its-kind “microwave brain” microchip capable of computing on ultrafast data and wireless signals, researchers from the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering have shown how the chip can encode information into its own language.

Identifying high-needs patients helps predict future health spending

A new way to measure comorbidity can be used to accurately predict a patient’s risk of hospitalization and future healthcare costs across a population.

Researchers break light symmetry with simple materials

Light typically interacts with a material the same way whether it enters through the front or the back. Cornell researchers have demonstrated a simple route to breaking that symmetry, with possibilities for photonics and quantum information processing.
