Cornell plant and computer science experts joined forces to show how herbivores like sea snails can promote the spread of seagrass wasting disease. Grazing by small herbivores was associated with a 29% increase in the prevalence of disease.
More than a century after pioneering engineer Marie Reith vowed to “do some good” in the world, her legacy endures through the new Marie Reith Class of 1921 Scholarship. Funded by Herb Fontecilla ’66, M.Eng. ’67, the gift honors the woman who helped him begin his Cornell journey and will support future first-generation engineers.
Researchers found people who are socially rich, with strong social support but whose family had less money, and those who are economically rich, having more money but less social support, take similar levels of risk but activate different parts of their brains.
Cornell researchers have uncovered a microscopic layer of carbon contamination, often left behind by air exposure and fabrication techniques, that impairs electrical flow in devices made with gallium oxide. They also found a solution.
