Plant pathogens can hitch rides on dust and remain viable, with the potential for traveling across the planet to infect areas far afield, a finding with important implications for global food security and for predicting future outbreaks. Read more
Cornell researchers used X-ray diffraction to study how microscale phenomena such as bending and fragmentation emerge in the nickel-based superalloy IN625 as it is being 3D printed. Read more
Cornell is spearheading the New York Consortium for Space Technology Innovation and Development – a new initiative aimed at bolstering U.S. space technology research and manufacturing by uniting industry, academic and government partners. Read more
To bridge the data gap between volcanologists and atmospheric scientists, Cornell researchers have depicted volcanic ash samples to learn how this tiny dust plays a big climate role. Read more
Glaciers could become a powerful tool for monitoring some volcanoes, according to new Cornell research that shows for the first time how the altitude of glaciers could signal the threat of an eruption. Read more
The 18 students in the College of Engineering's Kessler Fellows program recently completed funded summer internships at a startup of their choice. Four interns went into depth about their experiences. Read more
A Cornell-led collaboration built a 3D in-vitro model of a functional human lymphatic vessel that revealed a surprising mechanism that can jam up the necessary drainage Read more
The 2023 research-to-impact projects aim to accelerate collaborative approaches needed to combat the climate crisis through practical science. Read more
Vesna Bacheva, recipient of a 2023 Schmidt Science Fellowship, collaborates with CROPPS to pioneer innovative technologies and models aimed at investigating the signaling and nutrient transport processes within plants. Read more
Cornell scientists have replaced the harsh chemical processing of rare earth elements – used to power electric cars, wind turbines and smartphones – with a benign practice called biosorption. Read more
