Colorado State University has joined the NSF-funded Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems (CROPPS), led by Cornell University, with Arjun Khakhar spearheading projects on plant genome editing and enhancing nitrogen and water use in crops.
Microscopic liquid droplets in the form of bovine serum albumin condensates swim toward solvent conditions that favor their dissolution, a mechanism that may underlie some transport processes within living cells, and could be exploited to develop fluid micro robots.
The skies may soon be congested with drone traffic. A multidisciplinary team received a grant from NASA to develop new models to coordinate these drones, which may someday deliver packages - or even people.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially improve the sensitivity of quantum sensors and be used in other quantum devices.
Using the “beneficiary pays” principle for new power infrastructure will encourage investment in the grid without causing disputes over cost-sharing, new research shows.
The Cornell and Ithaca communities can see a unique blend of mime and mathematics during two days of events planned by the Cornell Department of Mathematics April 19 and 20.
Cornell scientists are developing a library of basalt-based spectral signatures that not only will help reveal the composition of planets outside of our solar system, but also could demonstrate evidence of water on those exoplanets.
A small delegation of Cornell faculty, staff and students attended COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan in November, where they advocated for cross-cutting partnerships to help countries achieve climate goals.
