AI modeling delivers more benefits, less risk for water partnerships

Researchers found that cooperative partnerships seeking to spread the cost burden of water infrastructure projects often end up forcing local partners to bear the brunt of supply and financial risks.

Sound drives ‘quantum jumps’ between electron orbits

Cornell researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially improve the sensitivity of quantum sensors and be used in other quantum devices.
