Revealing how psychiatric drugs reshape the brain and designing next-generation missions to find distant worlds are among the research themes that helped faculty earn Cornell Engineering Research Excellence Awards, the college’s highest recognition for groundbreaking scientific impact.
As soil microbes break down plant residues, they produce a diverse set of molecules, but this diversity starts to fall after the initial phase of decomposition (roughly 32 days). Understanding how soils retain or emit carbon dioxide during this process may inform climate change resilience efforts.
Cornell AAP announces funding to continue the Teiger Mentor in the Arts program, which brings a remarkable slate of internationally acclaimed faculty artists to the college, including Spring 2026 Teiger Mentor Mary Mattingly.
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine recently discovered that low levels of folate, a B vitamin essential for cell growth, can trigger specific genetic changes found in several human cancers, including lung tumors.
Founded in 2016 to connect artists with technologists and academics across Cornell’s campuses, Backslash has grown into a global launchpad, with its artists debuting works at major venues.
A new study based on mathematical modeling reveals how parasites’ choice between using resources to replicate within hosts and transmitting to new mosquito and human hosts might limit their virulence.
The new method, Semi-Local Density Fingerprints (SLDFs), can predict molecular properties with up to 100 times more accuracy than the current most popular method for modeling molecules and materials.
As researchers are racing to find greener ways to power AI, a new study explores a promising solution: analog in-memory computing, utilizing analog chips.
The Department of Global Development and the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment have been combined to establish a new school: the Cornell CALS Ashley School of Global Development and the Environment.
