Researchers at Princeton Engineering and the Indian Institute of Technology have harnessed artificial intelligence to take a key step toward slashing the time and cost of designing new wireless chips and discovering new functionalities to meet expanding demands for better wireless speed and performance.

Controlling the superheated plasma that makes up the whirling core of a fusion reactor is simple. You just have to predict the future. 

Bruce Koel compares recycling lithium-ion batteries to transforming a stale loaf of rye back into oven- ready bread dough.

Princeton molecular biologist Bonnie Bassler has received the National Medal of Science(Link is external), the nation’s highest scientific honor. Two emeritus members of the Princeton faculty, Larry Martin Bartels and Ingrid Daubechies, and two undergraduate alumni, John Dabiri and Cynthia Dwork, were also among this year’s 14 recipients of the White House honor, announced and awarded in a ceremony Jan. 3.

Researchers have found a low-power, inexpensive way for large numbers of devices, such as machines in factories and equipment in labs, to share information by efficiently using signals at untapped high frequencies.

The U.S. Department of Energy(Link is external) (DOE) has awarded the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) two highly competitive Microelectronics Science Research Center projects. PPPL researchers will lead two collaborative projects involving national labs, as well as academic and industry partners. Princeton University researchers will act as deputy directors to the PPPL project directors.

It takes Tom Griffiths just 15 minutes to walk from the Computer Science Building on Olden Street to Peretsman Scully Hall, home of Princeton’s psychology department. Jointly appointed in both departments, Griffiths makes the jaunt every weekday, during which he can sometimes feel the different sides of his own brain negotiating the competing perspectives of both centers. 

Advances in materials science and rapidly developing technologies are leading to new approaches to engineering concretes and building infrastructure. Reza Moini, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Princeton University, discusses his work with concrete, 3D-printing techniques and how his lab takes inspiration from nature as it works to reimagine the future of building materials.

During a trade mission to the United Kingdom, Gov. Phil Murphy extolled the dynamism of the New Jersey economy, citing Princeton University as a significant contributor.

Craig Arnold, Princeton’s vice dean of innovation and University innovation officer, was in the audience in London on Nov. 7 when Murphy talked about the bright future for making the state a center for the advancement of artificial intelligence initiatives.

In their teaching and research, Princeton University’s humanities faculty keep their intellectual antennas tuned to what Dean of the Faculty Gene Jarrett calls “the frequencies of ideas,” crackling with the collected genius of human culture from across the globe and across time. Classics professor Barbara Graziosi’s frequency spans millennia. She is developing AI-based tools to fill in the gaps of fragmented ancient texts that are written on stone, papyrus and parchment so those valuable voices from the past are not lost forever.
