Team Led by Columbia Engineering Wins $26M NSF ERC Grant to Develop Center for Smart Streetscapes

sarah JonasAnnouncement

Columbia Engineering, with Florida Atlantic University, Rutgers University, University of Central Florida, and Lehman College, has won an NSF $26 million ERC grant to develop a center for smart streetscapes, focused on making cities more livable, safe, and inclusive. The underlying technologies of the new center will integrate advances in wireless/optical communications, edge/cloud computing, situational awareness, and privacy and security. Critical to its approach, CS3 will balance public data collection with community-defined benefits.

Shine On: Avalanching Nanoparticles Break Barriers to Imaging Cells in Real Time

sarah JonasResearch Results

A team of researchers co-led by Berkeley Lab and Columbia University has developed a new material called avalanching nanoparticles that, when used as a microscopic probe, offers a simpler approach to taking high-resolution, real-time snapshots of a cell’s inner workings at the nanoscale.
