ALT Martha Field has been developing crucial research on how folate and vitamin B12 affect mitochondrial DNA integrity and mitochondrial function, examining how these nutrients impact chronic diseases, aging, and soldiers’ cognitive and physical performance. Martha Field, left, assistant professor in the Division of Nutritional Sciences, works with Chloe Purello in her Kinzelberg Hall lab.

ALT James Antaki, a professor in the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, in Cornell Engineering, has been working on a device called the PediaFlow pediatric heart pump to help children with heart defects for more than 30 years. His project to prepare the device for in-human trials is the subject of a federal stop-work order, leaving its future uncertain.

ALT Artistic rendering an XHEMT transistor device engineered at Cornell with an ultra-thin layer of gallium nitride built on bulk single-crystal aluminum nitride. Microscopy of the material layering showcases how the architecture allows the XHEMT to withstand relatively high temperatures and voltages while reducing electrical losses – ideal properties for future high-power wireless electronics.

ALT A transmission electron micrograph of HIV-1 virus particles (teal) exiting an infected immune cell after replicating inside the cell. The inset (circle) shows the capsid (yellow) that surrounds the RNA and enzymes necessary for replication next to the text "Research saves lives." The image emphasizes the texture and details of the virus structure in warm tones.
