Research at Cornell University has shed new light on the microbial decomposition of plant litter and its impact on dissolved organic matter (DOM) formation. The study, conducted over a period of 150 days in five different ecosystem types, aimed to investigate the relationship between microbial diversity and DOM molecular diversity.
Alloys
Researchers from Cornell University have made significant strides in understanding the behavior of GRCop-42, a copper-based alloy strengthened by precipitation hardening, under extreme strain rates. Utilizing laser-induced microparticle impact testing, the study reveals a transition from rebound to impact-induced bonding at approximately 490 m/s, with notable shape changes in

New research from Cornell University has shed light on the genetic basis of cider apple fruit quality, providing a robust analysis of quality traits in a cider-specific germplasm. The study, published in the journal G3, identified 19 significant marker-trait associations for fruit quality traits, including a distinct marker on chromosome
Atoms
Research at Cornell University has led to a breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. Scientists have introduced the Quantum Attention Network (QuAN), a classical artificial intelligence framework that leverages attention mechanisms to learn and characterize quantum state complexity from limited and noisy measurements. QuAN is a critical step towards
Antibacterial agents
Research by a team of scientists from Cornell University has shed light on the trade-offs between reproduction and immunity in female Drosophila melanogaster. The study found that mating stimulates egg production but triggers a rapid and persistent decrease in female immune defense. This is due to the preferential allocation of
Cornell University
Research from Cornell University has made groundbreaking strides in the field of physics, specifically in the realm of nonlinear optics. The team, led by Ryotatsu Yanagimoto, has developed a photonic device with a highly programmable nonlinear functionality. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize the applications of nonlinear optics, making
Artificial intelligence
Research led by Cornell University has validated the performance of GSI Technology's Associative Processing Unit (APU) in delivering GPU-class performance for large-scale AI applications with significant energy reduction. The study, titled "Characterizing and Optimizing Realistic Workloads on a Commercial Compute-in-SRAM Device," confirmed that the Gemini-I APU
Autism
Researchers at Cornell University have shed light on the neural mechanisms underlying autistic meltdowns, a phenomenon affecting individuals with autism. According to a recent study, autistic meltdowns are intense episodes of frustration and physical violence triggered by sensory and cognitive stressors. The study aims to initiate an interdisciplinary dialogue on
Cornell University
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Linköping University have found that the general anesthetic propofol may be used to develop new treatment strategies for epilepsy and other neurological disorders. The study, published in Nature, provides high-resolution structural details of how propofol inhibits the activity of HCN1, an ion channel protein
