Three innovative approaches to treating infections, fighting cancer, and enhancing the body’s immune system have been selected for funding through the Cornell Center for Immunology's 2025 Multidisciplinary Seed Grants.
A computer model analysis showed that global adoption of regenerative farming practices to improve soil health can benefit either greenhouse gas mitigation or crop yields but rarely both.
Researchers in the College of Human Ecology have developed a design and fabrication approach that treats plants as companions to humans, with seeds woven into hydrogel material for apparel and other applications.
A team of researchers at Cornell University have made a discovery in fruit flies that could change the way we understand brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in humans.
North American bird populations are declining most severely in areas where they should be thriving, according to new Cornell research.
Cornell AES manages farms and greenhouses that support research but are also unique teaching resources for over 40 courses. This is the sixth story in a series about on-farm teaching; in Cover Crops in Agroecosystems, students explore the uses of cover crops and assess their benefits.
Humans have bred pug dogs and Persian cats to evolve with very similar skulls and “smushed” faces, so they’re more similar to each other than they are to most other dogs or cats.
As part of the “CROPPS-in-a-Box” hackathon — an intensive, weeklong event hosted by the Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems — students in engineering, computer science and plant biology collaborated to build a working prototype that could detect when a plant is in distress.
Researchers found that at low levels of mercury, selenium additions did seem to help mayfly larva from accumulating mercury. But at high mercury levels – the condition in which environmental remediation is most needed – selenium actually made mercury accumulation worse.
