As psychedelic drugs gain more support from the medical community as a potential treatment for severe depression – and with the U.S. government relaxing its regulatory constraints – there remains a vast gap in understanding how the drugs work on the brain. Alex Kwan, Ph.D. ’09, professor of biomedical engineering in @CornellEng, is at the center of a multidisciplinary investigation that is exploring the basic neurobiology and mechanics behind psychedelic compounds such as psilocybin.

“In my view, the data and transparency [are] the hardest part. If you get the data, we are very good at using data to make decisions. But if the data are not comprehensive enough or even somehow misleading, there could be a challenge.” - says Fengqi You (@CornellEng) in @sciam

Researchers from @CornellEng developed a potential replacement for the tiny copper interconnects in microchips: single-crystal nanowires that become better conductors the thinner they get.

One month until a new class of Cornellians makes their own odyssey to Ithaca.

Different from Odysseus's Ithaca — Cayuga Lake instead of the Ionian Sea — but the same promise at the end of the road: they're arriving somewhere that's about to become home.

Autonomous drones could deliver packages, inspect bridges and skyscrapers, monitor emergencies like wildfires, and, eventually, ferry people. But the airspace still lacks the testing and coordination infrastructure needed to prove drones can operate safely around people, buildings, aircraft, and each other.

Mehrnaz Sabet, a doctoral student in the field of information science in @Cornell_Bowers, is working to create that infrastructure. Learn how at https://t.co/zNjPfkIyjN.

A $13.3M grant from the @NIH will support @cornellvet-led efforts to reveal how immune cells communicate within living tissues, which could shape new approaches for treating inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders and infections. @CornellEng @UR_Med https://t.co/fqpM5gjhRb

Cornell adjunct professor Charlie Trautmann and his wife, Nancy, were walking the footbridge that crosses Fall Creek in an area of the Cornell Botanic Gardens known as Flat Rock. Noting how the bridge had fallen into disrepair, Nancy posed an innocent question, “Can’t you do something about this?”

That question sparked an idea. Trautmann, Ph.D. ’83 began working with students to hone their engineering skills by designing and building community bridges.

Now, through Engineering in the Community (CEE 3090), @CornellEng students gain hands-on experience designing and building infrastructure that benefits local communities, from the Cornell Botanic Gardens to the Village of Interlaken.

The course is designed to teach students not only the skills to build infrastructure but also the interpersonal skills needed to succeed in public projects.

"So much of our schoolwork happens on paper or on a screen, and actually building something changes how you think about the work," said Julius Pieper '27, president-elect of the Cornell Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
