The newly upgraded Linac Coherent Light Source X-ray free-electron laser at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has produced its first X-rays, and researchers are ready to kick off an ambitious science program.
The U.S. National Science Foundation has awarded the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source $20 million to build a new precision X-ray beamline for research on biological and environmental systems.
Inspired by a small and slow snail, scientists have developed a robot protype that may one day scoop up microplastics from the surfaces of oceans, seas and lakes.
Collaboration was the theme of the evening at the second annual Community Engagement Awards, held April 16 and hosted by the Einhorn Center for Community Engagement to celebrate excellence in local and global university-community partnerships.
Cornell researchers and colleagues have for the first time described the near-complete genome of a rare bacterium so large it’s visible to the naked eye. The bacteria, which they’ve named Epulopiscium viviparus, lives symbiotically within some tropical marine surgeonfish.
The Adam and Rachel Broder Fund for Cancer Research, which provides seed funding for scientists, is available to any Cornell faculty member. They are administered by the College of Veterinary Medicine, which has a long history of translational cancer research.
