Portable test: @Cornell researchers have developed a portable diagnostic test that can simultaneously detect and distinguish Ebola and Lassa, two serious viruses whose early symptoms can be difficult to tell apart. @CornellEng @CornellCHE @CornellRsrch https://t.co/OMwR16Vt9q

How can engineering move from the lab to the clinic? Meinig School faculty member @SueliaRosa is helping bridge that gap, translating cutting-edge engineering into medical treatments that can improve patients’ lives. Read her profile p22, Inside Chapel. https://t.co/2DBolR7liZ

Some of our favorite Cornell moments happen between the big ones: a laugh in between classes, ivy on old brick, the walk home under McGraw Tower.

[Cornell University @Cornell]

This morning on the Arts Quad, Cornell Republicans and Cornell Democrats joined together to plant American flags in honor of lives lost in the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Throughout the morning, the McGraw Tower chimes are tolling to mark when the planes crashed and towers fell, as our community pauses to honor and remember those killed. Our community is also invited to visit the memorial in the Anabel Taylor Hall rotunda dedicated to the 21 Cornell alumni who died on 9/11.

Dyed wool = clean water: Researchers at @CornellCHE have proven the feasibility of using polydopamine-dyed and ultrablack wool as a low-cost, renewable water-purification method. @CornellHCD @CornellGrad @CornellEng @cornellccmr @NSF @AtkinsonCenter https://t.co/q0flvWMTWK

Spreading finely crushed basalt across farmland has been promoted as a relatively simple way to remove large quantities of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

But a new study led by @CornellEng researchers suggests the real-world potential of this method, known as enhanced weathering, may be far smaller than widely cited estimates.

A beautiful sight on the Cornell campus: A fledgling Red-tailed Hawk at sunrise, framed by this season's wildflowers near the Libe Slope.

It's a rare shot — our hawks aren't often photographed near flowers.

Scanning vast swaths of sky, NASA’s next flagship observatory, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, promises to revolutionize our understanding of dark matter and dark energy while discovering some 100,000 exoplanets.

The minimum five-year survey mission – targeting launch from Florida no earlier than Aug. 30 – also includes a technology demonstration that will attempt a first in space: direct imaging of exoplanets in visible light wavelengths.

As a principal investigator supporting Roman’s state-of-the-art coronagraph – an instrument designed to block out direct light from a star or another bright object – Cornell faculty member Dmitry Savransky has helped determine the targets that the instrument will study and when best to observe them. Capturing pictures of these previously hidden, Jupiter-like planets, he said, marks a first step toward directly imaging potentially habitable Earth-like planets.

“If we are successful, it would be incredibly compelling and exciting scientifically, because this will be a unique dataset that literally doesn’t exist,” said Savransky, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering in @CornellEng, and of astronomy in @CornellCAS. “No other space observatory has this capability.”
