In two breakthroughs in the realm of photonics, City College of New York graduate researchers are reporting the successful demonstration of an LED (light-emitting diode) based on half-light half-matter quasiparticles in atomically thin materials. This is also the first successful test of an electrically driven light emitter using atomically thin semiconductors embedded in a light trapping structure (optical cavity). The research is led by graduate physics student Jie Gu and post-doctoral fellow Biswanath Chakraborty, in collaboration with another graduate student, Mandeep Khatoniyar. According

On Sept. 20, Tucumán Province Governor Dr. Juan Manzur reciprocates the City College team’s visit during his U.S. tour with a talk at ����Ӱҵ on international affairs, education and trade from an Argentine perspective. ����Ӱҵ’s ties with the Tucumán provincial government and Universidad Nacional de Tucumán cover: Sustainable development, with

The Grove School of Engineering’s Department of Computer Science at ����Ӱҵ is creating a pipeline to college for female New York City high school students interested in computer science. The initiative is made possible by an $18,000 gift from Google and partnership with College Now and the Early College Program, which will help broaden the scope of women in STEM fields. “This generous gift will enable us to work with ​our female students to create opportunities that help to recruit the next generation of a much more diverse tech workforce," said Akira Kawaguchi, chair of

With nuclear safety an ever growing concern, the next generation of atomic reactors could be safer because of research ongoing at ����Ӱҵ’s Grove School of Engineering. ����Ӱҵ engineer Masahiro Kawaji, whose specialty includes nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics, leads a team that is the recipient of a third consecutive U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant to safeguard reactors of the future. The new $800,000 award brings to $2.8 million DOE funding for the project since 2011. “What we are doing is developing ways of making reactors that will be built in 10 years’ time safer

NCSA's 2019 NCSA Power Rankings, an annual list of the top colleges and universities in the U.S. for student-athletes, ranked ����Ӱҵ's men's volleyball program 92 nd among 100 NCAA men's volleyball programs across four-division levels (DI, DII, DIII, and NAIA). NCSA Power Rankings offer a comprehensive analysis of the best NCAA and NAIA schools across the country. Colleges and universities are ranked overall and broken out by division and sport into the top schools for 2019.

Earth and Atmospheric Sciences professor Maria Tzortziou and her research team have been selected to receive a 2019 NASA Group Achievement Award for their work on a two-year, multi-agency field campaign program in the Chesapeake Bay. The Ozone Water–Land Environmental Transition Study (OWLETS), which involved participants from NASA, the EPA, and NOAA, sought to better understand and ultimately represent and predict the atmospheric chemistry and complex air flow in coastal areas where approximately 40% of the U.S. population resides. Among the main objectives of the program has been to link
