A programmable photonic chip that can be reconfigured to perform different tasks could make quantum technologies more flexible – an approach associate professor Peter McMahon will explore as a 2026 Experimental Physics Investigator with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
The Cornell Duffield College of Engineering celebrated faculty commitment to education at its 2026 Fall Faculty Reception, honoring this year’s Teaching and Advising Award winners for their contributions to outstanding curriculum design, teaching methods, student mentoring and faculty development.
Innovative projects to enhance quantum research, experiential learning, semiconductor workforce development, and AI utilization in the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering will receive the first-ever awards from the Duffield Engineering Breakthrough Fund.
Using an engineered metasurface that traps light, Cornell researchers have demonstrated a new way to generate strong static magnetic fields without using external magnets or magnetic materials – an approach that could advance spintronics, quantum and photonic computing, and data storage.
The second season of Research Matters, a Cornell video podcast, drops today, with a way-too-relevant episode on why we don't always do the things we know we should.
MARQUIS, a new Quantum Leap Challenge Institute funded by the National Science Foundation, will develop the materials and manufacturing techniques needed to build quantum processors at scale.
An X-ray experiment at Cornell recently did something unusual: It decided for itself where to take its next measurement.
Researchers developed a method that uses krypton gas to slash the deposition temperature of the corrosion-resistant metal tantalum, resulting in thin films that have substantially higher electronic conductivity.
Light typically interacts with a material the same way whether it enters through the front or the back. Cornell researchers have demonstrated a simple route to breaking that symmetry, with possibilities for photonics and quantum information processing.
