Cornell astronomers are exploring Mars, searching for life in the universe, modeling exotic stars, detecting gravitational waves, creating innovative instrumentation like the new Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope -- and more. @CornellAstro @CSInst as.cornell.edu/news/cornell-s…

"The Iranians said there were no direct talks [w/US], which is a hedge... There are almost certainly 'indirect' talks going on, with one of the Gulf States talking to the Iranians & Americans & thus serving as a middleman": Prof. @silbey @CornellHistory newsweek.com/is-trump-talki…

Fuel cell breakthrough: @Cornell researchers have developed a catalyst that doesn’t use expensive precious metals such as platinum, a major step in alkaline fuel cell technology. @PNASNews @NSF @ENERGY @CornellCAS @CornellEng @CornellGrad news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

The Anthropic-Pentagon dispute is less @ one company than an early test of "how governments & frontier AI developers will coexist when advanced AI systems become embedded in national security and scientific infrastructure" says Prof @sekreps @cornellgov as.cornell.edu/news/anthropic…

The appointment of the first woman as Archbishop of Canterbury tests "whether institutions built by and for men can open their highest offices to women without fracturing in the process," says sociologist @LandonSchnabel . @CornellSoc as.cornell.edu/news/historic-…

Kudos to senior Adi Arora, who earned rave reviews from stars John Legend and Kelly Clarkson for his rendition of "It Will Rain" on NBC’s "The Voice." alumni.cornell.edu/cornellians/vo…

@CornellAstro @CornellEng @NASA Between sending the underwater robot @IcefinRobot on missions under the ice, collecting samples and compiling data, the team is also keeping clear of polar bears and having some fun, too!

@CornellAstro @CornellEng And the team is preparing for a mission to Europa by studying similar environments on Earth, in year 2 of @NASA -supported project SSHOWUP (Sample Selection and Handling for Ocean worlds and Wolstenhom fjord Under-ice Platforms),

Cornell researchers SSHOWUP for fieldwork in Greenland! A team led by @CornellAstro & @CornellEng professor Britney Schmidt is studying Wolstenholme Fjord, home to 3 tidewater glaciers. Based in Pituffik, Greenland Feb. - April, the team has goals related to earth and space.

If we're ever to find extraterrestrial life in the Universe – a question raised by Project Hail Mary, Cornell astronomers have pinpointed the best places to look for it. The study was led by a team of students with @CornellAstro professor @KalteneggerLisa .skyatnightmagazine.com/news/best-exop…

Astronomers now have some new places to search for life! 👀 In a new paper today, Carl Sagan Institute fellows have identified 45 potentially Earth-like worlds More at Cornell A&S: news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0… Interactive images: gillislowry.com/rocky-hz-catal… 🧵(1/4)

New @CornellAstro research co-authored by an undergraduate and two recent alums will help scientists pinpoint the most likely places to look for life in the universe, out of more than 6,000 exoplanets. @KalteneggerLisa as.cornell.edu/news/where-fin…

Milkweed v. monarchs: @CornellEnto researchers report that milkweed has found a new strategy in its epic evolutionary battle with monarch butterflies: structurally upgrading its toxins to outmaneuver monarchs’ resistance. @PNASNews @NSF news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

A very happy first day of spring from Cornell University! It won't be too much longer until campus looks like this again. 🌸 🌷
