Engineering alumna Laura Ray, now a professor of mechanical engineering at Dartmouth, and her students helped create Yeti, a robot that is making Arctic and Antarctic exploration safer and more effective.
Yeti uses ground-penetrating radar to map crevasses, the deadly gaps hidden in ice fields that have been the bane of […]
Red Bulletin magazine has named Mike McAlpine one of the world’s 20 mightiest minds. He is in good company: Stephen Hawking and Tim Berners-Lee also made the cut.

Princeton Engineering professors Philip Holmes and William Massey have been named to the inaugural class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society, the world’s largest and most influential society dedicated to mathematical research, scholarship, and education.
Holmes is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Mechanical […]
Princeton engineers have won a highly competitive grant of $1.2 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to collaborate with the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab in order to tackle materials science challenges in the creation of fusion energy.
One key challenge is how to contain the hot plasma that fuels fusion power […]
The Engineering School is hosting an ice cream social August 21 at 4 p.m. to showcase Professor Michael Littman’s display of iconic (and beautiful) engineering objects from the early 20th century. Littman, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, will give a short talk and demonstration of early telephones, radios, […]
Zi Chen, who earned a Ph.D. in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton this year, has won a prestigious five-year fellowship to ETH Zurich, where he will investigate how one-dimensional information coded in DNA translates into three-dimensional shapes.
Chen is one of eight new fellows selected for the Society in […]
The New York Times Magazine this week features a wireless “tooth tattoo” developed at Princeton that detects harmful bacteria.
The sliver-thin device — made of silk, graphene, and a tiny antenna — is applied to the tooth much like a child’s stick-on tattoo. It can detect bacteria associated with not just cavities but, perhaps […]
