Expanding the Search For Life To Purple Planets Cornell University 2024-04-16 | In search for alien life, purple may be the new green. On Earth, green signifies life, thanks to chlorophyll-driven photosynthesis. But on exoplanets, Cornell researchers have found that purple could be a key color to look for. Some bacteria on Earth already use infrared light for photosynthesis and contain purple pigments instead. This discovery means that potential alien worlds with dominant purple bacteria might emit a unique "light fingerprint" detectable by advanced telescopes. Lisa Kaltenegger, Carl Sagan Institute (CSI) director and associate professor of astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Lígia Fonseca Coelho, a postdoctoral associate at CSI, discuss this research.Learn more here: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/04/search-alien-life-purple-may-be-new-green

Can you cool a particle accelerator using only lake water? Cornell University 2023-09-25 | For decades, the Wilson Laboratory, which houses the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, has relied on four immense cooling towers that evaporate 10,000 gallons of water daily to reduce the temperature of the nearly 650 electromagnets that line a half-mile-long ring buried 40 feet below east campus.
