The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (popularly known as SEAS or Columbia Engineering; previously known as Columbia School of Mines) is the engineering and applied science school of Columbia University.

New scalable technology can dynamically control heating, cooling, and the lighting of buildings

New inexpensive, scalable design takes advantage of the optical switchability of porous polymers; could be used for heating, cooling, and lighting buildings, as well as camouflage applications. Buildings devote more than 30% of their energy use to heating, cooling, and lighting systems. Passive designs such as cool roof paints have gone a long way toward

A brain-controlled hearing aid automatically decodes and identifies exactly who you want to hear

Columbia engineers develop new AI technology that amplifies correct speaker from a group; breakthrough could lead to better hearing aids. Our brains have a remarkable knack for picking out individual voices in a noisy environment, like a crowded coffee shop or a busy city street. This is something that even the most advanced hearing aids

The water industry could be disrupted by a new radical desalination method

Columbia Engineering researchers design new desalination method for hypersaline brines that is low-cost, efficient, and effective; could address the growing water challenges across the globe. Hypersaline brines–water that contains high concentrations of dissolved salts and whose saline levels are higher than ocean water–are a growing environmental concern around the world. Very challenging and costly to

The water industry could be disrupted by a new radical desalination method

Engineers create a robot that can imagine itself

A Step Closer to Self-Aware Machines Robots that are self-aware have been science fiction fodder for decades, and now we may finally be getting closer. Humans are unique in being able to imagine themselves—to picture themselves in future scenarios, such as walking along the beach on a warm sunny day. Humans can also learn by

Drastically reducing the size and weight of any optical instruments used for imaging, including cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and eyeglasses

Flat, micron-thick lens offers performance comparable to top-of-the-line compound lens systems; could drastically reduce the size and weight of any optical instruments used for imaging, including cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and eyeglasses. Light of different colors travels at different speeds in different materials and structures. This is why we see white light split into its constituent

Machine learning could be a real game-changer for climate prediction

A major challenge in current climate prediction models is how to accurately represent clouds and their atmospheric heating and moistening. This challenge is behind the wide spread in climate prediction. Yet accurate predictions of global warming in response to increased greenhouse gas concentrations are essential for policy-makers (e.g. the Paris climate agreement). In a paper recently published

Machine learning could be a real game-changer for climate prediction

A new non-invasive way to correct vision

New method uses a low-powered ultrafast laser and relies on photochemical effects to alter biochemical and biomechanical properties of collagenous tissue without causing cellular damage or tissue disruption. Nearsightedness, or myopia, is an increasing problem around the world. There are now twice as many people in the US and Europe with this condition as there

New invention could prevent document tampering, protect copyrights, as well as embed QR codes and other metadata without altering the look or layout of a document

Columbia computer scientists invent FontCode, a way to embed hidden information in ordinary text by imperceptibly changing the shapes of fonts in text. Method could prevent document tampering, protect copyrights, as well as embed QR codes and other metadata without altering the look or layout of a document. Computer scientists at Columbia Engineering have invented FontCode, a new

Robotic spine exoskeleton could lead to new treatments for children with spine deformities such as idiopathic scoliosis and kyphosis

Designed by Columbia Engineers, RoSE is first device to measure 3D stiffness of human torso, could lead to new treatments for children with spine deformities such as idiopathic scoliosis and kyphosis Spine deformities, such as idiopathic scoliosis and kyphosis (also known as “hunchback”), are characterized by an abnormal curvature in the spine. The children with

Sustainable solar hydrogen production on the high seas

Design is the first practical floating solar hydrogen-generating device to perform water electrolysis without pumps or membranes; could lead to low-cost, sustainable hydrogen production In a single hour, more energy from the sun hits the Earth than all the energy used by humankind in an entire year. Imagine if the sun’s energy could be harnessed

Wireless full-duplex communications could revolutionize emerging 5G cellular networks and much more

Researchers are first to demonstrate a circulator on a silicon chip at mm-wave frequencies that enables nonreciprocal transmission of waves: device could enable two-way radios and transform 5g networks, self-driving cars, and virtual reality. Columbia Engineering researchers, led by Harish Krishnaswamy, associate professor of electrical engineering, in collaboration with Professor Andrea Alu’s group from UT-Austin, continue to break

Artificial soft robotic muscle lifts 1000 times its own weight

A self-contained soft actuator three times stronger than natural muscle, without the need of externals, signals a breakthrough in soft robotics. Researchers at Columbia Engineering have solved a long-standing issue in the creation of untethered soft robots whose actions and movements can help mimic natural biological systems. A group in the Creative Machines lab led by Hod Lipson, professor of
