Scientists at Cornell have discovered a way to potentially reverse age-related weight gain by reactivating beige fat, a type of fat that burns calories like brown fat. They identified a signaling pathway that suppresses beige fat formation with age and found that blocking this pathway, using existing cancer drugs, can restore fat-burning activity in older mice, offering promising avenues for combating metabolic decline and obesity-related diseases.

Cornell researchers have developed a novel porous crystal design that enhances lithium-ion transport in solid-state batteries, potentially preventing battery explosions. This design uses a fusion of macrocycle and molecular cage structures to create one-dimensional nanochannels, significantly improving ion conductivity. The breakthrough promises safer, more efficient batteries and has potential applications in water purification and bioelectronics. The findings are detailed in a paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
