Cornell physicists and computer scientists have developed a machine learning architecture inspired by the large language models (LLMs) behind ChatGPT to help them study the vastly complicated interactions that happen when nature’s smallest particles interact.

Greg Fuchs, the James R. Meehl Professor in School of Applied and Engineering Physics, and Thomas Hartman, professor in the Department of Physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, have been elected as fellows of the American Physical Society.

Cornell researchers have built a programmable optical chip that can change the color of light by merging photons, without requiring a new chip for new colors – technology that could potentially be used for classical and quantum communications networks.

Cornell physicist Brad Ramshaw has been named a 2025 Experimental Physics Investigator – national recognition awarded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to a select group of researchers pushing the boundaries of experimental physics.

A Cornell researcher and collaborators have developed a machine-learning model that encapsulates and quantifies the valuable intuition of human experts in the quest to discover new quantum materials.

Cornell University hosted the 2025 SUPREME annual review, bringing together academia, industry, and government to advance next-generation semiconductor innovation and workforce development.

The NSF, in partnership with Intel, will invest $20 million over five years to establish the Artificial Intelligence Materials Institute at Cornell, as part of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes.

The quantum computing revolution draws ever nearer, but the need for a computer that makes correctable errors continues to hold it back.

In a new study, researchers detail their novel approach for both detecting and controlling the motion of spins within antiferromagnets using 2D antiferromagnetic materials and tunnel junctions, which could lead to ultra-fast information transfer and communications at much higher frequencies. 

An international collaboration that includes Cornell researchers achieved a new level of precision in measuring the magnetic anomaly of the muon – a tiny, elusive particle that could have very big implications for understanding the subatomic world.

Scientists have discovered a way to convert fluctuating lasers into remarkably stable beams that defy classical physics, opening new doors for photonic technologies that rely on both high power and high precision.

Brad Ramshaw, associate professor of physics, has been named to the 2025 class of Brown Investigators. Each investigator, recognized for curiosity-driven research in chemistry or physics, will receive up to $2 million over five years.
