Sometimes you get a small electric shock from touching your car door handle on a dry summer's day.

A robotic float has measured the temperature and salinity from parts of the ocean never sampled before—underneath massive floating ice shelves in East Antarctica.

Rising sea levels along coastlines not only threaten populations, but also pose a danger to agricultural crops, which may be damaged by surging amounts of saltwater. Researchers have, in response, sought to improve salt-tolerance ...

A new brain implant stands to transform human-computer interaction and expand treatment possibilities for neurological conditions such as epilepsy, spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, and blindness—helping to manage seizures ...

Electrons can be elusive, but Cornell researchers using a new computational method can now account for where they go—or don't go—in certain layered materials.

Complexity is an important aspect to consider when designing workplace incentive schemes as it can affect worker effort and performance, according to new research from the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business.

Immunotherapy for sepsis is effective when doctors tailor the treatment precisely to the patient's immune system condition. While earlier research showed little benefit of immunotherapy in sepsis, a new study demonstrates ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their international collaborators have developed a new computational tool that maps how gene pathways interact in complex biological systems. Using this novel algorithm, the team ...

Carbon removal projects could prove vital in offsetting methane emissions—the second largest contributor to global warming.

Many organizations are taking actions to shrink their carbon footprint, such as purchasing electricity from renewable sources or reducing air travel. Both actions would cut greenhouse gas emissions, but which offers greater ...

Reopening schools during the COVID-19 pandemic was linked with significantly lower rates of mental health diagnoses among children, including anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and a ...
