From flame wars on twitter to sleepless nights, four of the country’s leading science journalists spoke of the challenges they’ve faced covering the COVID-19 pandemic during an April 28 event hosted by the College of Arts & Sciences.
There are some 100 million other places in the Milky Way galaxy that could support complex life, say astronomers, who have developed a new computation method to examine planets orbiting other stars.
A computer model study reveals – for the first time – details of an energy-creating process vital and unique to cancer cells, which holds promise for new interventions.
Cornell robotics researcher Hadas Kress-Gazit is part of a five-year, $10 million National Science Foundation project to make computer programming faster, easier and more intuitive.
Reliance on scientific reasoning, cross-disciplinary collaboration and long research paths are three traits often leading to “big-leap” inventions, a new Cornell study has found.
A Cornell collaboration has found a way to grow a single crystalline layer of alpha-aluminum gallium oxide that has the widest energy bandgap to date – a discovery that clears the way for new semiconductors that will handle higher voltages, higher power densities and higher frequencies than previously seen.
New research by Weill Cornell Medicine shows chemotherapy kills the most common type of bladder cancer, urothelial cancer, but it also shapes genetic evolution of remaining urothelial cancer cells.
A study in which participants were given two choices - healthy and unhealthy - shows that the process by which we make decisions involving temptation is dynamic as opposed to sequential.
Cornell will offer four new massive open online courses - or MOOCs - in 2016. Learn abouts sharks, GMOs, engineering simulations and how mergers and acquisitions get done.
