Cornell and Weill Cornell Medicine researchers report on the use of biomaterials-based organoids in an attempt to reproduce immune-system events and gain a better understanding of B cells.
Searching vast cosmic communities like real estate agents rifling through listings, Cornell astronomers now hunt for aging, habitable exoplanets flourishing in old star, red giant neighborhoods.
A Cornell research group reports that a mechanical factor - stiffening of a cancer cell and its matrix - and not a chemical cause could contribute to metastasis in some forms of cancer.
Emeritus professor Tobias de Boer, who taught mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell for more than 50 years and served as associate director of the Sibley School for nine years, died on May 2 at age 85.

It's not discrimination, but rather differences in resources attributable to career and family-related choices that set women back in science fields, Cornell researchers say. (Feb. 7, 2011)
After years of planning and several last-minute delays, about 100 Cornell-developed mini satellites demonstrating space flight at its simplest have launched into orbit and are now circling Earth.
Sifting through the center of the Milky Way galaxy, astronomers have made the first direct observations – using an infrared telescope aboard a modified Boeing 747 – of cosmic building-block dust that survived an ancient supernova.
Researchers from the College of Engineering and Weill Cornell Medicine will fight the spread of breast cancer and other cancers with a $9.3M, five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute.
The new book, “Science Beneath the Surface: A Very Short Guide to the Marcellus Shale,” attempts to offer a reader-friendly, unbiased, scientific guide needed to make well-informed decisions regarding “fracking” in the Marcellus Shale.
