The winners of the Cornell Imaging Contest 2026 have been announced!

Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns – atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual quantum behaviors – without relying on the difficult-to-control twisting and stacking methods traditionally used.

Cornell researchers have developed a new type of computing device that stores information electrically but reads it through tiny mechanical motion, an unusual approach that could open a path toward more energy-efficient hardware for artificial intelligence and scientific computing.

If you’ve captured a beautiful or interesting image (optical, scanning probe, electron microscopy, microCT or anything small), submit it for a chance to win prizes, be featured, and showcase your work!
