Selected news pieces highlighting accomplishments of the School of Applied and Engineering Physics faculty, students and alumni.
A new study has changed where scientists think Nickelate's superconducting ability might originate, providing a blueprint for how more functional versions might be engineered in the future. Read more
A model system created by stacking a pair of monolayer semiconductors is giving physicists a simpler way to study confounding quantum behavior. Read more
Twelve Cornell and Weill Cornell Medicine faculty members – six of whom are also Cornell alumni – have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest general scientific society. Read more
A Cornell-led collaboration has for the first time used voltage to turn on and off a material’s crystal symmetry, thereby controlling its electronic, optical and other properties – a discovery that could have a profound impact on building future memory and logic devices. Read more
Data science, molecular mechanisms, unconventional computing for optimization and machine learning, wave interaction with engineered materials, electrocatalysis, and compound semiconductor devices are among some of the research themes that helped six faculty members earn Cornell Engineering Research Excellence Awards.

For nearly six decades, Cornell’s Laboratory of Plasma Studies has remained at the forefront of plasma science – a tradition its incoming director, Gennady Shvets, professor of applied and engineering physics, plans to continue while also broadening the lab’s research capabilities. Read more
The fellowship recognizes APS members who have made advances in physics through original research and publication, or who have made significant innovative contributions in the application of physics to science and technology. They may also have made significant contributions to the teaching of physics or service and participation in the activities of the Society. Fellowship is a distinct honor signifying recognition by one's professional peers. Each year, no more than one half of one percent of the Society’s membership (excluding student members) is recognized by their peers for election to... Read more
The 2022 fellowships, granted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, began Oct. 3 and support unclassified basic research in areas of interest to the intelligence community. Read more
The discovery made by two doctoral students could have future implications for human health, setting a path for research into understanding brain function. Read more
