Mind mapping: Building on prototypes developed at the Cornell NanoScale Facility, French scientists have produced the world's first microscopic transistors that can amplify signals from within the brain.
'Cornell Dots' may not only help light up cancer cells, but could provide a new patient-friendly, viable option to battle cancer. Researchers have created pores in the nanoparticles that can carry medicine.
Cornell researchers have used mathematical models to illuminate the promises – and potential problems – of a new genome editing mechanism, called a gene drive.
Bernd Blossey is close to the end of a research program that identified a leaf beetle, Galerucella birmanica, which feasts on water chestnuts, as the perfect predator to help clear New York's waters.
