To manage atmospheric carbon dioxide and convert the gas into a useful product, Cornell scientists have dusted off a 120 year old electrochemical equation.
Government scholar Sarah Kreps: The recent hearings on Capitol Hill and ongoing debates about a TikTok ban have shown how difficult it is to balance privacy concerns with core democratic principles of free speech.
Government scholar Paul Lushenko: U.S. political officials have learned from the incident of a Chinese high-altitude balloon able to gather intelligence.
Professor Glenn Altschuler: results of the Tuesday election will affect the future of abortion and gerrymandering and shed key insight into constituent sentiment around judicial candidates.

Government professor David Bateman: "There is no historical precedent for one of the two major parties to nominate a candidate on trial or potentially convicted."
Cornell tech policy research: using AI to write entire messages in representative government appears to be more effective than using AI to generate individual sentences.
"We are both honoring Justice Ginsburg’s legacy as a trailblazer for justice and gender equality, and also celebrating New York’s history as the birthplace of the women’s rights movement.”
Bakhmut, Ukraine, by itself is not a particularly valuable piece of land for either side, says professor David Silbey, but Ukrainian control of it prevents a more general Russian advance northwest .
Researchers discovered that the atmosphere of exoplanet HD149026b, a ‘hot Jupiter’ orbiting a star comparable to our sun, is super-abundant in the heavier elements carbon and oxygen.
Female giant African pouched rats, used for sniffing out landmines and detecting tuberculosis, can undergo astounding reproductive organ transformations, according to a new study.
Fangming Cui, psychology, and Susannah Sharpless, English language and literature, are among eight doctoral students advancing to the final round of the 2023 Three Minute Thesis competition.
Government scholar Sarah Kreps comments on today's expected appearance of TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew on Capitol Hill amidst app-related national security concerns.
Planning to harness the power of AI are A&S researchers from physics; ecology and evolutionary biology; chemistry and chemical biology; and neurobiology and behavior
Research in the realm of accelerator physics focuses a lot on where you get the particles from. My group’s expertise is creating and manipulating electron beams. We’re typically interested in studying a process called photon emission by way of using light to impinge on a specially engineered material that will emit electrons when illuminated. My group are experts in generating high brightness electron beams via photoemission, using light to generate electrons.
I joined the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2005. The project then was already in the middle of construction and primarily I worked on the pixel detector and getting that ready for data taking, which started in 2010. But already I was thinking about what we want to do in the future. So I got involved with the H luminosity LHC upgrade, the next major upgrade of the facility at CERN that will allow us to take data at a rate that is in order of magnitude higher than what we have been doing so far. Starting about 2014, we really started seriously to make the plans for this work which had been listed as the highest priority project for the LHC upgrades.
Her three-volume work, “Women Scientists in America,” sheds light on the many ways women were involved in the advancement of science, as well as how they were pushed out of the field.
As a graduate student in Germany at a national research lab, students weren’t allowed to do many thing for themselves. My advisor sent me to Cornell for six months to learn how to do things. In Newman Lab, the students do everything – how to use the clean room, how to solder, etc. So after I finished my PhD I came back to Newman Lab and Cornell.
A field experiment investigating how GPT-3 might be used to generate constituent email messages showed that legislators were only slightly less likely to respond to AI-generated messages than human-generated.
Cornell government professor: "As long as there is demand for drugs in the United States, no military operation, even by highly trained U.S. forces, will prove effective in reducing drug trafficking."
Cornell research is shining a new light – via thermal imaging of mice – on how urine scent mark behavior changes depending on shifting social conditions.
The psychology researcher is “one of the most prominent international contemporary scholars in the field of the cognitive and cultural foundations of language.”
According to two Cornell government scholars, armed drones are neither a “magic bullet” that wins wars nor an inconsequential tool with little impact on the battlefield.
Cornell scientists working with the U.S. Department of Energy have developed a new method for recycling high-density polyethylene using a novel catalytic approach.
A world expert at using mechanical strain to precisely manipulate the properties of materials, Malinowski is particularly interested in superconductors.
Government professor Kenneth Roberts: Extensive trade and investment relations has established China as an increasingly important economic power in Central America.
