Lisa Kaltenegger, director of Cornell University’s Carl Sagan Institute and one of the world's leading experts on exoplanets, comments on the upcoming launch of NASA's new satellite telescope known as TESS.
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.
Astronomers seeking life on distant planets may want to go for the glow. Harsh ultraviolet radiation flares from red suns, once thought to destroy surface life, might help uncover hidden biospheres.
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.
There’s a structural avalanche waiting inside that box of Rice Krispies on the supermarket shelf. Cornell researchers are now closer to understanding how those structures behave – and in some cases, behave unusually.
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.
Dmitry Savransky, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, is a co-investigator on a $2.6 million National Science Foundation grant aimed at the discovery of relatively young, large exoplanets.
Come play and learn with the Water Ninja Prowlers, Fishstick Bricks, and Smelly Plumbers at the Twelfth Annual FIRST LEGO League Junior Expo – hosted by the Cornell University NanoScale Facility – on Saturday, Jan. 27, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. in the Duffield Hall Atrium on the Cornell campus.
Oculi, a sculptural pavilion by architecture, art and engineering faculty at Cornell, will move this spring from New York City to Art Omi, an art organization in Ghent, New York.
