X-ray of vibrating diamond yields new equation for quantum sensors

A research team led by Cornell mapped atomic vibrations in diamond and linked them with the behavior of the quantum system embedded within, an advance that will make quantum sensors significantly more precise than today’s detection tools.

Green hydrogen study highlights strategies for offshore production

As the U.S. faces significant challenges in scaling up production of hydrogen in cost-effective and environmentally friendly ways, a new Cornell study outlines strategies to meet up to 75% of the nation’s future hydrogen demand by harnessing offshore wind energy.

Kourkoutis’ cryo-imaging continues to drive quantum discoveries

A team led by Judy Cha collaborated with the late Lena Kourkoutis to use cryo-electron imaging to study how defects in the microstructure of the nanomaterial tantalum disulfide affects its properties.

Hybrid system would create new ‘backbone’ for internet in space

A new NATO-funded effort led by assistant professor Greg Falco ’10 seeks to make the internet less vulnerable to disruption by rerouting its flow of information to space.
