A unique project team enables Cornell undergraduates to use emerging open-source hardware to design, test and fabricate their own microchips – a complex, expensive process that is rarely available to students. Read more

Eight projects have been selected from the Fall 2023 application cycle to receive Ignite Innovation Acceleration grants. The grants are designed to help project teams pursue licensing, form startups, and forge industry collaborations. Read more

Using 3-D stacks of reflectors on microchips could triple data rates of wireless links to help speed development of 6G communications, a new study finds. Most current wireless communications technology, such as 5G phones, operate at frequencies below 6 gigahertz. For greater data rates, researchers are striving to develop 6G communications that use frequencies above 20 GHz for data rates 100 times great as 5G. However, at 6G‘s anticipated higher frequencies, transmissions also experience greater attenuation and losses from the environment. Read the full article here: 6G Reflector Chip Tech... Read more
