CU scientists create world's thinnest balloon: Just one atom thick
(22 Sep 2008)
Using a lump of graphite, a piece of Scotch tape and a silicon wafer, Cornell researchers have created a balloonlike membrane that is just one atom thick - but strong enough to contain gases under several atmospheres of pressure without popping. And ...

Cornell's Stroock lab creates first synthetic tree
(12 Sep 2008)
World's first synthetic tree is no giant redwood, but may lead to technologies for heat transfer, soil remediation
In Abraham Stroock's lab at Cornell, the world's first synthetic tree sits in a palm-sized piece of clear, flexible hydrogel - the type found in soft contact lenses. Stroock and graduate student Tobias Wheeler have created a "tree" that simulates ...

Researchers locate geographic origins from DNA
(05 Sep 2008)
One day soon, you may be able to pinpoint the geographic origins of your ancestors based on analysis of your DNA
A study published in Nature by an international team that included Cornell researchers describes the use of DNA to predict the geographic origins of individuals from a sample of Europeans, often within a few hundred kilometers of where they were ...

First nanoscale image of soil reveals an 'incredible' variety, rich with patterns
(29 Apr 2008)
A handful of soil is a lot like a banana, strawberry and apple smoothie: Blended all together, it is hard to tell what's in there, especially if you have never tasted the fruits before. But when you look at soil's organic carbon closely, it has an ...

By color-coding atoms, new Cornell electron microscope promises big advance in materials analysis
(25 Feb 2008)
A new electron microscope recently installed in Cornell's Duffield Hall is enabling scientists for the first time to form images that uniquely identify individual atoms in a crystal and see how those atoms bond to one another. And in living ...

Computational biologists use evolution-tracking method to discover 300 new human genes
(19 Nov 2007)
Using supercomputers to compare portions of the human genome with those of other mammals, researchers at Cornell have discovered some 300 previously unidentified human genes, and found extensions of several hundred genes already known. The discovery ...

In search of wine, ancient Meso-Americans found chocolate, 500 years earlier than once thought
(16 Nov 2007)
The human love affair with chocolate is at least 3,000 years old - and it began at least 500 years earlier than previously thought, according to new analyses of pottery shards from the Ulúa Valley region of northern Honduras. But the first people to ...

The humble fruit fly gives clues to genetic adaptation and immune system evolution
(09 Nov 2007)
Cornell researchers have played a major role in an international scientific team that has compared the complete set of genes of 12 closely related fruit fly species. As well has having implications for human health - from genetic adaptation to ...

Researchers discover hormone that may lead to safe treatment for high blood pressure
(05 Nov 2007)
For more than 40 years, researchers have suspected there must be a natural hormone that could safely flush sodium out of the body and could be harnessed to develop more effective and safer treatments for high blood pressure, or hypertension. ...

Side-to-side shaking of nanoresonators throws off impurities
(08 Aug 2007)
Tiny vibrating silicon resonators are of intense interest in nanotechnology circles for their potential ability to detect bacteria, viruses, DNA and other biological molecules. Cornell researchers have demonstrated a new way to make these resonators ...
