Fuchs’s group demonstrates spin resonance can be driven solely by acoustics. eliminates need for the magnetic antenna. The team’s paper, “ Acoustically Driving the Single Quantum Spin Transition of Diamond Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers,” published May 27 in Physical Review Applied. Read more
AEP Associate Professor Greg Fuchs among the multifaceted team that recently published “ Local Photothermal Control of Phase Transitions for On-Demand Room-Temperature Rewritable Magnetic Patterning” in Advanced Materials. The study demonstrates a technique for writing, erasing and rewriting microscopic magnetic patterns onto a material and has applications for ultrafast computer memory.

A recent Cornell Research article explores impressive statistics regarding accomplishments of the Cornell community that are changing the world. The article explores Cornell University's role as one of the top 10 academic innovators in the world according to Reuters News Agency. Cornell also ranked number one in research expenditures among New York State educational institutions, according to the National Science Foundation. The work of AEP Professor David Muller is highlighted as one of these projects. Muller continues his decades-long development of electron microscope pixel array detector... Read more

A Cornell-led collaboration has created a model simulator from overlapping ultrathin monolayers and have used it to map a longstanding conundrum in physics. Read more
You may have noticed quantum computing cropping up in the news a lot lately. Last October Google announced they’d pulled off quantum supremacy when their prototype quantum computer solved a problem they claimed would take a classical supercomputer 10,000 years to solve. Meanwhile, the National Science Foundation kicked off its Quantum Leap Challenges Institutes program which will fund large-scale projects in quantum science, and the U.S. Department of Energy announced $625 million in funding for centers to advance quantum information science. It’s easy to see why there’s so much interest... Read more
