Cornell researchers have discovered a previously unknown way plants regulate water that is so fundamental it may change plant biology textbooks – and open the door to breeding more drought-tolerant crops.
For research excellence into how living structures recover and preserve order in morphology amid constant disruption, postdoctoral scientist Lanxi Hu has been awarded the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology’s 2025 Sam and Nancy Fleming Research Fellowship.
Five professors from across campus will advocate that their discipline is the most important to save for the future in the annual Apocalypse Debate, sponsored by Logos, the undergraduate philosophy journal and club.
Cornell researchers have developed a powerful new biosensor that reveals, in unprecedented detail, how and where kinases – enzymes that control nearly all cellular processes – turn on and off inside living cells.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers determined that organic residues of plant oils are poorly preserved in calcareous soils from the Mediterranean, leading decades of archaeologists to likely misidentify olive oil in ceramic artifacts.
Findings from a recent study show how randomness and growth together create the striking cellular patterns that shape plant organs—and perhaps all multicellular life.
The unrestricted fellowship funds enables Oliva and the 19 other fellows named this year to “test novel ideas and lead research that drives real-world impact.”
