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.

Mohamed I. Ibrahim will use his award to advance quantum computing with a project that aims to develop energy-efficient, scalable interfaces for cryogenically cooled quantum processors.

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.

Two Cornell-led research teams have been selected to receive nearly $1.2 million through Phase I of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission.

Researchers developed a potential replacement for the tiny copper interconnects in microchips: single-crystal nanowires that become better conductors the thinner they get.

A late-night “Eureka” moment, a smashed computer and 17 years of persistence led researchers to achieve what many in microwave electronics had long considered out of reach: a tunable, low energy loss class of dielectric materials.

Cornell researchers have shown that excitons can do more than observe magnetism. They can actively steer it.

Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns – atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual quantum behaviors – without relying on the twisting and stacking methods traditionally used.

The buildout of a 10,000-square-foot quantum research facility at Cornell is advancing with a new $10 million investment from the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering, with an additional $3.5 million announced to support collaborative research projects.

By measuring the movement of soundwaves rather than the flow of heat, Cornell researchers identified a new intrinsic effect in a quantum material.

A new study shows how tiny changes in atomic structure can strongly influence whether a material becomes superconducting.

Cornell researchers have observed a quantum property of the material for the first time, an advance that could expand its technological reach.
