Philanthropic organization Schmidt Sciences has named Carla P. Gomes of Cornell Bowers CIS an AI2050 Senior Fellow for her work on innovative AI approaches to advance scientific discovery, focusing on significant sustainability challenges.
A global analysis by Cornell researchers found that recycling all the human and livestock feces and urine on the planet would contribute substantially to meeting the nutrient supply for all crops worldwide, thereby dramatically reducing the dependency on fossil fuels.
Experts’ more stringent online reviews have the effect of compressing aggregate ratings by penalizing higher-quality products compared to their lower-quality alternatives. To address this problem, a research team developed a method for de-biasing ratings.
Microscopic machines engineered by Cornell researchers can autonomously synchronize their movements, opening new possibilities for the use of microrobots in drug delivery, chemical mixing and environmental remediation, among other applications.
Specially packaged DNA secreted by tumor cells can trigger an immune response that inhibits the metastatic spread of the tumor to the liver, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Severe COVID-19 arises in part from the SARS-CoV-2 virus’s impact on mitochondria, tiny oxygen-burning power plants in cells, which can help trigger a cascade of organ- and immune system-damaging events, suggests a study by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.
A new method developed at Cornell provides tools and methodologies to compress hundreds of terabytes of genomic data to gigabytes, once again enabling researchers to store datasets in local computers.
The Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems (CROPPS) welcomes Liz Jones as assistant director for research, leveraging her 20 years of expertise in molecular and genomic applications to lead interdisciplinary research and drive agricultural innovation across six institutions.
The installation designed by AAP's Jennifer Newsom and Tom Carruthers is one of nearly 200 artworks featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876-Now" exhibition, open through Feb. 17.
