The Big Red Adaptive Play and Design Initiative has brought independence and joy to local children with disabilities – and has created space for the engineering of assistive technologies at Cornell.
Indigenous students in STEM are creating community and working to increase representation and visibility – all while bringing valuable cultural insights and a community-focus to their academic work.
Cornell researchers have harnessed the power of baker’s yeast to create a cost-effective and highly efficient approach for unraveling how plants synthesize medicinal compounds, and they have used the new method to identify key enzymes in a kratom tree.
Greeshma Gadikota, director of the Sustainable Energy and Resource Recovery Group at Cornell University’s College of Engineering, and Phillip Milner, professor of chemical and chemical biology at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences, comment on the Biden administration's push to support carbon capture technology.
Jack Freed, the Frank and Robert Laughlin Professor of Physical Chemistry Emeritus, has received two grants totaling $7.8 million from the National Institutes of Health to use electron-spin resonance for the benefit of public health.
Researchers from Cornell Tech have developed a method to identify delays in the reporting of incidents such as downed trees and power lines, which could lead to practical insights and interventions for more equitable, efficient government service.
“Gas-trophysics Across the Universe,” a July 15 symposium organized by Cornell's Friends of Astronomy, will celebrate the work and lives of renowned Cornell astronomers Peter Gierasch and Riccardo Giovanelli.
An interdisciplinary collaboration used paleo information and reconstructed weather scenarios to better understand California’s flood and drought risks and how they will be compounded by climate change.
Astronomers using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified CO2 on the icy surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa – one of a handful of worlds in our solar system that could potentially harbor conditions suitable for life.
New research has shown that ultrasmall Cornell Prime Dots, or C’Dots, which are among the nanocarriers for therapeutics once thought to be viable only by injection, have the potential to be administered orally.
