Most products made for pets are designed entirely by humans. But what if animals could help design the things they use? A new project suggests they can. Researchers worked with a pet parakeet named Shiso to create a wearable perch based on the bird’s own preferences, turning the design process into a true collaboration between […]

Water and spice influenced eating in opposite and unexpected ways during controlled meal experiments. A glass of water beside a meal is often treated as an easy way to eat less. The usual explanation is that the water stretches the stomach and creates a sense of fullness before too much food is consumed. A Cornell [...]

A team of researchers at Cornell University has uncovered a surprising problem in a promising class of materials known as hybrid perovskites. The discovery could help scientists build better materials for future technologies, including solar cells, energy-harvesting devices, and advanced electronics. Hybrid perovskites have attracted enormous interest in recent years because they are efficient at […]
