Princeton’s Andlinger Center director Emily Carter was in Bremen, Germany, earlier this week to receive an award from the
German Chemical Society. The plenary lecture she gave associated with the award ceremony was boldly titled “How Quantum Mechanics Can Help Solve the World’s Energy Problems.”
In the video above, Carter […]
Yesterday’s New York Times featured an op-ed by Stewart Prager, director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, on the future of nuclear fusion, which he describes as an abundant, safe and clean energy source that may be closer to becoming a reality than many think.
“Fusion energy generates zero greenhouse gases,” Prager […]
Today both Time magazine online and the popular Russian online magazine Lenta launched galleries featuring images from Princeton’s 2010 Art of Science exhibit.
AoS 2010 also has been recently featured by Spiegel online, MSNBC, FOXNews, […]
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 […]
Princeton Engineering’s Emily Carter appeared yesterday at a Capitol Hill news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Rep. Rush Holt to announce a new initiative that will highlight scientific research made possible […]
This week the BBC posted a guest editorial by Princeton’s Fred Dryer, who outlines different ways the aviation industry can become more energy-efficient.
“Bio-derived fuels must be fully compatible with petroleum fuels, particularly for aircraft applications, because of the international nature of the aviation industry,” writes Dryer, who is professor of […]
