Dean of Columbia Engineering Shih-Fu Chang recently featured technological advancements by two CNI Faculty in his newsletter on innovation.

James Hone, Wang Fong-Jen Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and collaborators recently developed a prototype of a new 2D qubit made from atomically thin crystalline materials, opening new possibilities for quantum computing.
