Columbia Engineers Revolutionize Augmented Reality (AR) Glasses through novel engineered optical materials (EnMats)

Imagine driving along the highway with directions and other pertinent information (think gas stations) appearing “on” your glasses so you ,don’t have to look away from the road. Or building a complicated DIY project with step-by-step instructions appearing “on” your…...

Nanotech

New field “Electron Quantum Metamaterials” giving rise to “Twisted electronics” wherein new materials can be created by varying twist angle of 2-D materials

When two atomically thin two-dimensional layers are stacked on top of each other and one layer is made to rotate against the second layer, they begin to produce patterns — the familiar moiré patterns — that neither layer can generate…...

One-Dimensional Nanomaterials for next generation electronics , optical communications and multi spectral detectors and cameras

Nanomaterials are often categorized based on number of dimensions of a material, which are outside the nanoscale (<100 nm) range. Accordingly, in one-dimensional nanomaterials (1D), one dimension is outside the nanoscale. This class includes nanofibers, nanotubes, nanorods, and nanowires. 1D materials are…...
