Pioneering Innovations in Applied Materials & Engineering Driving Technological Advancements It’s pretty wild to think about ...

Hypersonic vehicles — aircraft that can reach speeds of Mach 5 and beyond — are subject to extreme conditions while they are in flight, requiring strong yet aerodynamic materials to keep them both in ...

Silica nanoparticles affixed with a distribution of polystyrene chains (purple) self-assemble into hexagonal lattices. Depending on how the chains are organized on the particle surface, they tangle ...

Editor’s note: First-year students, prospective students (and some of their parents) wonder and worry how they will handle the academic transition from high school to college. In a series of stories, ...

A new microscopy method has allowed researchers to detect tiny changes in the atomic-level architecture of crystalline materials -- like advanced steels for ship hulls and custom silicon for ...

The David and Lucile Packard Foundation has announced that Saien Xie, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and the Princeton Materials Institute, is one of 20 researchers to ...

Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core ...

Researchers have unveiled a breakthrough in solid-state cooling technology, doubling the efficiency of today's commercial systems. Driven by the Lab's patented nano-engineered thin-film thermoelectric ...

Jonathan Wilker swivels in his chair and sweeps his hand around the room. “There’s the computer, the book bindings, the furniture, shoes, the carpet, all the packaging and boxes, plywood, the walls,” ...

“Also, I have duct tape. . . . Even NASA can’t improve on duct tape,” says Mark Watney, an astronaut stranded on the Red Planet in the sci-fi novel The Martian. Watney uses this unassuming material to ...

Delivering a lecture in 1959, theoretical physicist, Richard Feynman, wondered out loud: “What would the properties of materials be if we could really arrange the atoms the way we want them?” The ...
