Instead of uncovering scientific answers, the spectral images from a Cassini flyby of Saturn’s rings triggered more questions than answers, says new research published June 13 in Science.
A $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research, led by Nicholas Abbott from the Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, into “microcleaners” for waterways.
Researchers led by Nicholas Abbott, a Tisch University Professor in the Robert F. Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, created a way of using synthetic liquid crystals to squeeze red blood cells and gain new insight into individual cells’ mechanical properties.
Invisible footprints hiding since the end of the last ice age – and what lies beneath them – have been discovered by Cornell researchers using a special type of radar in a novel way.
To better predict volcanic activity, Cornell geologists have proposed a new system to discern the stages of a volcano’s unrest – as seen from perceptive satellites.
Richard Schuler, professor emeritus in both economics and engineering and former deputy chairman of the state Public Service Commission, died Feb. 13 at age 81.
Cornell researchers combined genetic engineering, single-molecule tracking and protein quantitation to get a closer look at how living bacteria identify – and then build resistance to – toxic chemicals and metals. The knowledge could lead to the development of more effective antibacterial treatments.
Natalie Batalha, astrophysicist and planet hunter, will describe Kepler’s legacy and preview planned follow-up missions in the 2018 Carl Sagan Distinguished Lecture Dec. 5.
Selecting the most effective molecules for drug delivery can be a trial-and-error process, but Cornell engineers have developed a new technique that provides some precision.
As methane concentrations increase in the Earth’s atmosphere, chemical fingerprints point to a probable source: shale oil and gas, according to new Cornell research published in Biogeosciences.
