In this video, Colin Nuckolls, Latha Venkataraman, Xiaoyang Zhu, and Dmitri Basov explain their research and how Columbia's commitment to nanoscience will benefit society and reshape the world around us.

Engineering professors Karen Kasza and James Teherani have each won a prestigious, five-year award from the National Science Foundation, which supports the early career-development activities of junior faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education.

An interdisciplinary Columbia Engineering team is working to come up with a revolutionary lightweight glass that is able to dynamically monitor the wearer’s vision and display contextual images that are vision-corrected.

The researchers are the first to observe the electronic structure of graphene in an engineered semiconductor; their finding could lead to progress in advanced optoelectronics and data processing.

In September, the Columbia Nano Initiative opened a state of the art new clean room at the Schapiro Center for Engineering and Physical Science Research, which will support projects in physics, electrical engineering, applied physics, mechanical engineering, and chemistry.
