Researchers led by @EE_ColumbiaSEAS @APAMMSECU @gaeta_alexander, show that a thin‑film platinum resistor on a photonic chip can double as a precise temperature sensor—no bulky hardware needed. https://t.co/bLnqbOD946 @NaturePhotonics

Congrats to @APAMMSECU @EE_ColumbiaSEAS @gaeta_alexander who received the 2026 Arthur L. Schawlow Prize in Laser Science! His work is opening paths to higher‑performance computing and more sustainable photonic technologies. Read more: https://t.co/gvB2WLsDFF

The Instron was first developed during World War II to test the tensile strength of parachutes. Now, @mechcu @kmyerslab and her PhD students are using it for a different kind of life-saving technology—preventing preterm births.

A @mechcu lab recently unveiled a prototype superconducting qubit made from atom-thin crystals. The crystalline qubit is smaller than ever before, opening up a new world of materials that can now be used to create fundamental units of quantum computers: https://t.co/nPVoc7ueOr

Thank you to all that donated this #GivingDay! On October 21, we raised more than $3.7M in donations with 900+ in total gifts. With your support, we can invest in the next generation of engineers that are building a better humanity. @CUSEAS_alumni
