Recent engineering news from across Columbia.

Columbia Engineering professors Sam Sia and Jingyue Ju discuss what’s known so far about the omicron variant.

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have found a way, using 2D materials, to build superconducting qubits that are a fraction of the size of previous qubits.

A new technique developed at Columbia Engineering combines quantum mechanics and machine learning to efficiently simulate temperature-dependent processes in materials. The method could lead to new and less carbon-intensive ways of making steel and recycling scarce metals.

Columbia Engineering professor Henning Schulzrinne unpacks President Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure bill and its promise to expand broadband access for people in rural and low-income areas.

The program will allow early-stage startups to conduct product-oriented research and development in available campus labs, accelerating innovation in critical areas such as climate, energy, infrastructure, and materials.

Program will help researchers and entrepreneurs develop and scale carbon-cutting technologies.

Aerosol scientist Faye McNeill explains air purifier basics, why masks really do work, and how chemistry experiments and computer simulations in the lab translate to environmental policy.

In a complementary measure, landfills should also be outfitted with facilities to monitor and control existing methane emissions.

Technical support and a strong interdisciplinary ethos have contributed to a thriving entrepreneurial culture on campus.

From arts and humanities to engineering and medicine, here are the latest awards and milestones achieved by Columbians.

Here’s a roundup of awards and milestones granted to Columbians from September 1 to October 13, 2021.

They join more than 2,000 students, representing over 120 universities worldwide, who are deeply committed to social impact, sustainable development, and climate change.
