Tracing its roots to fundamental research conducted at Princeton, a new startup is upending decades-old approaches for the way the world extracts lithium and other materials, including nitrate and potash, that power today’s clean energy technologies and support modern agriculture.

Researchers at Princeton University have found a way to turn biowaste into a material used in batteries. 

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published(Link is external) a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and functional systems of mammalian perception.

Provost Jennifer Rexford and four other Princeton faculty and staff members were named in New Jersey Business Magazine’s INNOVATE100 list to “highlight and elevate the state’s finest innovation leaders and to showcase collaboration within companies and among organizations.”

Sudden changes to a material’s shape, like wrinkling, tearing or crumpling, can reveal hidden properties. Scientists call these instabilities, and engineers can use them as tools for designing high-tech products. Now, Princeton engineers have discovered a new instability, adding another tool to the kit.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy joined Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber and representatives from Microsoft, CoreWeave, and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) to officially open the NJ AI Hub, a state-of-the-art, flexible space designed to foster innovation in artificial intelligence.

Princeton University is collaborating with The Rockefeller University, Weill Cornell Medicine and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in a new East Coast hub dedicated to making immunotherapy more effective for cancer patients, an initiative launched with a $50 million gift from the Weill Family Foundation and to be matched with philanthropy from each partner institution that together will total more than $125 million.

Giving a second life to construction materials after demolition, engineers at the University of São Paulo and Princeton have developed an approach for recycling cement waste into a sustainable, low-carbon alternative that is comparable in performance to the industry standard.

Human health is influenced by an extraordinarily complicated range of factors, from genetics and socioeconomics to air quality and lifestyle factors like exercise. Princeton Precision Health (PPH) is taking aim at this whole complex picture, bringing together a unique combination of experts, giant datasets and advanced computational methods t

Felix Heide’s goal was big: help computers see. He did not know he was starting on a path to develop artificial intelligence that uses light instead of electricity, requires vastly less energy than a conventional computer, and produces results hundreds of times faster.
