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 […]
Time magazine’s Michael Lemonick this week reports on competing technologies coming out of Jeremy Kasdin‘s High-Contrast Imaging Laboratorythat could prove crucial for detecting exoplanets — earth-like planets beyond the sun’s orbit that can support life.
One of those technologies, being jointly developed by Kasdin and the Jet Propulsion Lab is a scheme that […]
Physics Today highlights a new paper showing that the performance of diesel and rocket engines may be improved by exploiting size differences in droplets. The paper is by Chung Law, Robert H. Goddard Professor of Engineering, and researchers Chenglong Tang, and Peng Zhang.

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics awarded Robert Stengel its 2012 Pendray Aerospace Literature Award at an awards ceremony during the 50th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting this month in Nashville.
John Valasek, director of the Aerospace Engineering Department at Texas A&M University, said in his nomination of Stengel […]
Mark Bernstein, writing in the current issue of the Princeton Alumni Weekly features some very cool robotics coming out of Princeton Engineering. Check out:
• Robert Stengel‘s robo shop where “students are designing machines that seem to have minds of their own”
• a submersible arm invented by Ben Rush […]
“Thanks to impressive athleticism, high-speed video and clever computer modeling, two researchers have unraveled the hidden aerodynamics behind the playful task of skipping over a speeding rope,” writes Wired‘s Dave Mosher.
Those two researchers are former Princeton postdoc Jeffrey Aristoff and Princeton Professor Howard Stone. They published their findings Nov. 1 […]
Times Higher Education has just published its world university rankings, with Princeton ranked third among engineering schools. The top five engineering schools are Caltech, MIT, Princeton, UC-Berkeley, and Stanford (in that order).
Princeton Engineering has experienced extraordinary growth of late. During the past six years, sponsored research […]
In an essay published today on Climate Central and in The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, Robert Socolow revisits the revolutionary “wedges” approach to climate change that he and Steve Pacala laid out in the journal Science back in 2004.
Socolow’s conclusion: the […]
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, […]
