State University of New York (SUNY) Chancellor John B. King Jr. today announced that this technology is a recipient of the latest round of seed funding through the SUNY Technology Accelerator Fund (TAF), which provides grants to faculty inventors and scientists. This technology is an on-chip quantum sensor platform that leverages arrays of individually addressable single-erbium ion qubits embedded within silicon-based hollow nanopillars. Utilizing advanced nanofabrication and materials engineering, the platform is fully compatible with standard semiconductor foundry processes, enabling scalable and cost-effective production. These quantum devices exhibit exceptional performance at room temperature, unattainable with current technologies.

State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. today announced the latest round of seed funding through the Technology Accelerator Fund (TAF), which provides grants to faculty inventors and scientists. Grants totaling $400,000 will support groundbreaking research at five campuses, including: State University of New York at Albany, State University of New York at Binghamton, State University of New York at Buffalo, State University of New York at Stony Brook, and SUNY Upstate Medical University.

On May 12, 2026, the Learned Society of the Czech Republic elected Galdi as a Foreign Member during its General Assembly. Galdi is recognized for his important contributions to the field of fluid-structure interaction and his mathematical analysis of the Navier–Stokes equations.

Researchers observed an anomalous splitting of image-potential states on higher-order topological Bi(111). By tuning film thickness and substrate screening, they linked the splitting to a radial active electric field and the development of Bi(111) surface states. The anomaly provides a possible spectroscopic signature of a monopole-like topological magnetoelectric response.

Stevens Institute of Technology researchers develop a novel approach for manipulating quantum systems using 12 precisely programmed, low-intensity laser pulses instead of a single intense pulse. This new method could enable more precise manipulation of atoms and molecules while reducing unwanted interactions that can destabilize quantum systems, leading to more practical applications in quantum computing, sensing, spectroscopy and biomedical imaging
