Cornell researchers have found that when laboratory mice are placed in large outdoor enclosures, male behavior was essentially the same as genetically wild mice, but females displayed radically different behaviors.
Research involving animal models – for purposes such as developing new vaccines or regenerative medicines – generally employ mice, but new Cornell research has identified another species that could be valuable in this type of work.
Researchers went searching for a quantum spin in the popular semiconductor gallium nitride and found it, surprisingly, in two distinct species of defect.
Genetics, genomics and development alumna Nora Brown, Ph.D. ’23, was selected as a finalist for the SUNY Chancellor Ph.D. Graduate Dissertation Awards, which recognize outstanding doctoral candidates in the SUNY system.
In a new analysis, Cornell researchers examined three autopen controversies to see what they reveal about when it is OK – and not OK – to automate communication.
Cornell neuroscientists have identified a group of midbrain neurons essential to ultrasonic social vocalizations produced by mice – but not the squeaks they make when distressed.
An interdisciplinary collaboration used a cutting-edge form of RNA tagging to map the gene expression that occurs during follicle maturation and ovulation in mice, an approach that could lead to therapeutic treatments for infertility.
A team in Cornell Engineering created a new lithium battery that can charge in under five minutes – faster than any such battery on the market – while maintaining stable performance over extended cycles of charging and discharging.
