A team of Cornell chemical engineers and New England Biolabs scientists have devised a method for churning out complex proteins, including many of today's blockbuster, life-saving antibody drugs, in as little as a week.
Fredrick Blaisdell '16 and Steven Ingram '16 have received 2015 Udall scholarships, for students who show potential for careers in environmental public policy, health care and tribal public policy.
Despite long odds in the struggle to restore oyster reefs and boost the bivalves’ survival, marine restoration professionals may wish to add a tool: paleontological history.
Cornell researchers have laid the groundwork for a chemical sensor on a chip that could be used in small portable devices to analyze samples in a lab, monitor air and water quality in the field and perhaps even detect explosives.
The three-year, $318,000 grant from the NASA New Investigator Program will support Lohman's study of subsiding deltas and sea level rise worldwide with space-based geodetic observations. (Jan. 12, 2011)
Cornell physicists have identified the physical mechanisms behind long-range protein attractions, which are set off by changes in cellular membranes. (Aug. 29, 2012)
Cornell researchers have devised a method for producing toroid-shaped particles through a process called vortex ring freezing. The particles are mass produceable through inexpensive electrospraying.
Ruth Richardson, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, this summer is testing a water-monitoring system that could cut the time state swim areas are closed from 30 hours to 90 minutes.
Five cities in the Northeast set the record for the warmest year in 2010, according to statistics released by the Northeast Regional Climate Center Jan. 3. (Jan. 5, 2011)
Research involving a new Cornell professor proposes that human behavior helps provide selective pressures that shape mobile gene pools, which are important for colonizing specific human populations.
