From mapping the human gut-brain connection to creating safer cancer nanotherapies, the latest Expanded SPROUT Awards from Cornell Engineering are exploring breakthroughs in microbiome science, quantum materials and biomedical engineering.
Cornell Atkinson, The Nature Conservancy, Clean Air Task Force and Environmental Defense Fund have awarded grants to five research projects that aim to improve sustainability in the dairy industry.
The award provides catalytic seed funding to faculty and other researchers at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) to spur innovation and leadership, generate on-the-ground results, and ultimately deliver real-world conservation impact for wildlife and wild places.
With support from Cornell Atkinson, graduate students mentored undergraduates to conduct summer research on methane mitigation, food security and climate forecasting.
William Jewell, a researcher who pioneered innovative approaches to waste treatment, renewable energy production and groundwater remediation, died Nov. 5, 2024, in Ithaca.
Russell R. Hahn, a leader among weed scientists and fondly known as the “weed warrior” across upstate New York, died Dec. 2, 2024, in Sayre, Pennsylvania.
FOSAI, a Cornell-led company specializing in plug-and-play architectures and data services for space vehicles and other mission-critical systems, has been acquired by Pasteur Labs, a developer of AI–driven simulation tools.
Open now through Dec. 31, the exhibit highlights findings from a four-year archaeological excavation of Ithaca’s St. James A.M.E. Zion Church conducted by Cornell faculty, students and Ithaca school children from 2021–2024.
