From soft robots crawling through crops to bio-based fertilizers that protect waterways, the future of farming lies at the intersection of scientific disciplines, according to a new study describing how agriculture’s toughest challenges require coordinated breakthroughs in biology, chemistry, engineering and data science.

A team at Cornell has for the first time identified exactly what happens when a microbe receives an electron from a quantum dot: The charge can either follow a direct pathway or be transferred indirectly via the microbe’s shuttle molecules.

An advanced imaging technique developed at Cornell has revealed the first two-dimensional, mechanically interlocked polymer – confirming a breakthrough in both material design and electron microscopy.
