Greg Hammett and Bill Dorland are recognized for groundbreaking contributions to plasma physics

A pair of physicists with long ties to the U.S. Department of Energy(Link is external)’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are…

Low-orbit satellites could soon offer millions of people worldwide access to high-speed communications, but the satellites’ potential has been stymied by a technological limitation — their antenna arrays can only manage one user at a time.

The one-to-one ratio means that companies must launch either constellations of many satellites, or…

The Program on Science and Global Security(external link) (SGS) has been awarded a two-year, $750,000 core support grant by Carnegie Corporation of New York. This new investment will support SGS in using scientific, technical, and policy research, education, and outreach to advance effective policies for…

The Research & Development Council of New Jersey has recognized four Princeton Engineering researchers for their pioneering contributions to innovation.

Brian Kernighan won the Science & Technology Medal, the R&D Council’s highest honor, for his work on computer programming languages. Naveen Verma, Hongyang Jia and Hossein…

Marking a watershed acquisition for Princeton’s campus, the Department of Chemistry’s new solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ssNMR) instrument—funded through an ambitious partnership with the Office of the Provost, Office of the Dean for Research, and Princeton Materials Institute (PMI)—is…

AI holds the potential to help doctors find early markers of disease and policymakers to avoid decisions that lead to war. But a growing body of evidence has revealed deep flaws in how machine learning is used in science, a problem that has swept through dozens of fields and implicated thousands of erroneous papers.

Now an…

In laboratories dealing with computational research, the computer programs used by researchers are sometimes many years old, originally written in outdated programming languages and passed down through several generations of students. If a person doesn’t have a background in software development, they may not know how to write code in a way…

At Princeton, interdisciplinary collaborations of researchers are using artificial intelligence to accelerate discovery across the University in fields ranging from neuroscience to Near Eastern studies.

Princeton experts are also pushing the limits of AI technology to make it more accurate and efficient, to…

Princeton scientists are peering into the smallest corners of matter using an exceptional collection of sophisticated microscopes — some so big they fill a room. These remarkable instruments have established the University as a world leader in microscopy and led to countless discoveries.

A way to stop cancer cells from metastasizing…
