An interdisciplinary collaboration used a cutting-edge form of RNA tagging to map the gene expression that occurs during follicle maturation and ovulation in mice, an approach that could lead to therapeutic treatments for infertility.
A team in Cornell Engineering created a new lithium battery that can charge in under five minutes – faster than any such battery on the market – while maintaining stable performance over extended cycles of charging and discharging.
Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have detected evidence for quartz nanocrystals in the high-altitude clouds of a hot Jupiter exoplanet 1,300 light-years from Earth.
Assistant professor Matthew Reid received an NSF CAREER Award to research how carbon can be transformed in the environment to create fuel for nitrogen-consuming bacteria, ultimately reducing nutrient pollution.
Researchers from Cornell Tech have developed a method to identify delays in the reporting of incidents such as downed trees and power lines, which could lead to practical insights and interventions for more equitable, efficient government service.
Four undergraduates are working with a professor this summer to research how forests cycle and store carbon and nutrients in trees, microbes, and soil, and how these processes respond to changes in climate, air pollution and disturbances.
August 8-11, mathematics researchers and college-level teachers will discuss what it takes to communicate effectively among mathematicians, to students, and to the public.
The Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia will soon see a vast expansion of its survey capabilities, thanks to a decadelong effort at Cornell to build an advanced camera that will offer a wide, continuous field of view of the sky.
