To conduct low-cost and scalable synthetic biological experiments, Cornell researchers have created a new version of a microbe to compete economically with E. coli – a bacteria used to synthesize proteins.
Cornell's Laboratory of Plasma Studies has joined the newly established Inertial Fusion Science and Technology Hub, known as RISE, a multi-institutional consortium to advance inertial fusion energy as a power source that could change the world.
A new Cornell-led project aims to use and reduce carbon dioxide emissions and residue from aluminum recycling – a carbon-heavy process – to produce high value products and address climate change.
The 2024 CROPPS Annual Meeting and Symposium held in October in the Sonoran Desert region of Arizona provided an ideal stage for discussions on sustainable agriculture in hot, dry environments.
Cornell researchers and collaborators have developed a new framework that allows scientists to predict crop yield without the need for enormous amounts of high-quality data – which is often scarce in developing countries, especially those facing heightened food insecurity and climate risk.
The Tompkins County program provides trainees - many of whom have faced obstacles to employment - with a foundation in environmental literacy and hands-on experience that helps them enter the workforce.
Germicidal ultraviolet light is effective at killing a damaging fungus that infects table beets, adding an important organic tool to fight the growing problem of fungicide resistance, according to a new Cornell study.
Run by the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability, the fund delivered payments and provided support to growers who planted cover crops and reduced tillage on nearly 15,000 acres in western and central New York.
