Humidity is as important as scent in attracting pollinators to a plant, new Cornell-led research finds, advancing basic biology and opening new avenues to support agriculture.
Neurons in a key area of the brain have different functions based on their exact genetic identity, and understanding this diversity could lead to better understanding of the brain’s computational flexibility and memory capacity, Cornell researchers found.
Cornell is breaking new ground in electron beam research with the HERACLES beamline, a state-of-the-art electron gun in Newman Lab that mimics the harsh environments of the world’s largest particle colliders.
