Princeton researchers push the frontiers of next-generation fuels

The cur­rent issue of PRISM mag­a­zine fea­tures the research of Chung “Ed” Law, who is the direc­tor of a  $20 mil­lion energy research cen­ter at Prince­ton whose mis­sion is to spur the inven­tion of new, cleaner fuels for the 21st century.

“Think the inter­nal com­bus­tion engine is dead?” writes Charles Q Choi in PRISM. “Peer into an Energy Fron­tier lab here and think again. Amid a tan­gle of pipes and tubes, that carbon-belching relic from an era of cheap gas and envi­ron­men­tal neglect is being con­ceived anew. In time, researchers here hope, it will be reborn as a pow­er­house of effi­ciency, burn­ing clean, advanced fuels.”

Choi also high­lights the work of Emily Carter, who co-directs the cen­ter with Law, and of Yiguang Ju.
