Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source

Astronomers at @Cornell are using a new instrument to study the earliest galaxies by capturing the combined light of millions of distant galaxies at once. The breakthrough could reshape how scientists study cosmic history and star formation. Read more: bit.ly/3Ru7lv5

Including contributions from research staff at @CornellCLASSE, new detector improvements at CMS have potential to revolutionize our understanding of dark matter and its influence on our universe.

Today is Giving Day at @Cornell! Please support the labs, instruments, and staff that help researchers develop new therapies, advance agriculture, and build technologies to improve our lives. Make a gift at the link below: givingday.cornell.edu/organizations/… #CornellGivingDay

Researchers at @Cornell discovered a molecular “gate” that helps cells control nitric oxide, which regulates blood pressure, brain signals, and immune defense. The finding could lead to more precise treatments for heart and neuro diseases. Read more: bit.ly/3Nukqmw

High school seniors stepped into the cleanroom at the @Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility to build real microchips. Programs like ATLAS are preparing students for new semiconductor jobs as Micron Technology expands in New York. Read more: bit.ly/3MfJtcF

How cells handle stress can shape diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration. Cornell researchers uncovered a new protein interaction that keeps the cell’s recycling system in balance, revealing clues that could inform future therapies. Read more: bit.ly/4qqdhRy

For his contributions to the development of the highest-resolution electron microscope in the world, David Muller of @CornellEng has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (@theNAEng). @CornellAEP news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Alexandra Cantley, Partner @PolarisVC, will open #IgniteConnect2026 in conversation with Alice Li, Exec. Director of CTL. Join us Thurs, 1/29, for insight on building fundable science + early-stage investing. Save your seat: ow.ly/RFmc50Y3Y8C @CornellRsrch @WCM_Innovation

Congratulations to @CornellChem professor Youn Jue (Eunice) Bae! She is a member of a team that’s won funding from the inaugural Scialog Award focused on Quantum Matter and Information, from @RCSA1. @ybae0221 as.cornell.edu/news/scialog-a…

When scientists detect environmental DNA in water, the source isn’t always nearby. In a new study, @Cornell researchers released and tracked synthetic DNA in Cayuga Lake to map how eDNA moves, strengthening tools for conservation monitoring. 📌news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Scientific Computing Training Series: a free, virtual program on data science, AI, and advanced computing. Open to staff and students at @Cornell, @WeillCornell, @WCMQatar, and @cornell_tech. Hosted by Cornell CAC with Weill ITS and CTSC. Read more: bit.ly/49DHo1u

We are pleased to announce Dr. Gary Koretzky ’78 as @Cornell Vice Provost for Research. He oversees more than 30 multidisciplinary research facilities spanning the physical, social and biological sciences. Read more: bit.ly/4py2If1

Happy Holidays from Cornell Research & Innovation! This year brought real challenges, and our research community met them with perseverance and generosity toward one another. We’re deeply thankful for your work and hope the holidays bring moments of rest, joy, and connection.

Federal funding has resumed for several @Cornell projects, including a pediatric heart pump, tick-borne disease diagnostics and military nutrition research. Teams are working to recover lost time so innovations can reach communities sooner. Read more: bit.ly/3MwetVu

@Cornell researchers built a new aluminum nitride transistor that could boost 5G, 6G and radar performance while reducing reliance on gallium, a material mostly produced abroad. Using far less gallium strengthens U.S. supply security Read more: bit.ly/4azAxZ9

Approximately 1.5 million people are living with HIV in Uganda, but research from Weill Cornell Medicine investigators finds that a new HIV therapy may effectively control HIV in the country. Learn how Cornell research is making an impact. news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/0….

Giving Tuesday isn’t just a day to give – it’s a chance to power the mission that drives Cornell Atkinson: uniting Cornell experts to create real solutions for a healthier, more sustainable planet. Make a gift today: securelb.imodules.com/s/1717/giving/…

Our group presented X-ray beamline science for advanced battery technology at the annual conference organized by @CHESS_user and @NYBatteryEnergy. We are fortunate to have Nobel laureate, Prof. Stan Whittingham to lead the New York Battery Center. @CornellChem

As I travel back to Germany, I wanted to give a shout-out to Chris and all the operators at @CHESS_user for the wonderful week of measurements. Power and goodluck to Gab, Liv for all the interesting data.
