The molecules of life are twisted. But how those familiar strands in DNA’s double helix manage to replicate without being tangled up has been hard…
For more than a decade, architect and educator Jenny Sabin has created a series of large sculptural installations at the intersection of architecture, art, and…
Researchers explore the value of continent-wide analyses of anthropogenic noise pollution on birds. Anthropogenic noise pollution (ANP) is a globally invasive phenomenon impacting natural systems,…
New research from Cornell University shows that plants can communicate with each other when they come under attack from pests. The study shows that plants…
Ever-widening divisions between Democrats and Republicans are believed to reflect deeply rooted ideological differences, but a new study points to a radically different interpretation: The…
Cornell University food scientists have created a new low-calorie ‘butter’ spread that consists mostly of water. A tablespoon of this low-calorie spread has 2.8 grams…
Gravitational waves, first detected in 2016, offer a new window into the universe, with the potential to tell us about everything from the time following…
Earthbound detectives rely on fingerprints to solve their cases; now astronomers can do the same, using “light-fingerprints” instead of skin grooves to uncover the mysteries…
An electricity-conducting, environment-sensing, shape-changing machine the size of a human cell? Is that even possible? Cornell physicists Paul McEuen and Itai Cohen not only say…
Newly published research from astronomers at Cornell University suggests that there may be a new population of circumbinary planets, which orbit around more-compact binaries (with…
A team of researchers from MIT, Google, the University of Sydney, and Cornell University present a new quantum error correcting code that requires measurements of…
In a new study, chemical engineers and astronomers from Cornell University reveal that Titan could harbor methane-based, oxygen-free cells that metabolize, reproduce and do everything…
New research found evidence of a drained and refilled subglacial lake in Greenland, revealing that surface meltwater can be trapped and stored at the bed…
A team of researchers used anodization to create nanoscale pores that change the electrical charge and surface energy of a metal surface, creating a nanoporous…
Using a room-temperature magnetoelectric memory device, engineers at Cornell University have made a breakthrough that may lead to instant-start computers. Ithaca, New York – To…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, astronomers show a clear picture of hierarchical merging and the all-important first steps along this process when the Universe…
New research from King’s College London and Cornell University reveals that genetic makeup influences whether people are fat or thin by shaping which types of…
