The design methodology of a new IBM computer chip inspired by the human brain was pioneered by Cornell Tech’s Rajit Manohar. “After years of collaboration with IBM, we are now a step closer to building a computer similar to our brain,” Manohar said.
The College of Engineering now enrolls equal numbers of undergraduate women and men, a historic shift after decades of underrepresentation in the field.
Entering a new age in education, Dan Huttenlocher, the dean and vice provost of Cornell Tech, explained the new school's charm and allure as it begins to bloom in New York City.
Cornell computer scientists are leaders in the emerging field of software-defined networking, which takes an open-source approach to network connectivity.
Cornell physicists have answered a long-standing problem in quantum computing by making a fractional topological superconductor, an exotic state of matter in which emergent quasi-particles perform quantum computations without error.
Engineers devise, atom-by-atom, a room-temperature magnetoelectric multiferroic out of lutetium iron oxide, a discovery that could lead to advances in computer memory technology.
One group seems immune to the rush of self-esteem that comes with an online thumbs-up: people with a sense of purpose, which limits how reactive people are to positive feedback on social media.
