Princeton-led team trains wild hummingbirds to discriminate UV color combinations. To find food, dazzle mates, escape predators and navigate diverse terrain, birds rely on their…
Study investigates potential for the intestinal microbial community to alter drug safety and efficacy. Researchers at Princeton University have developed a systematic approach for evaluating…
A dual-mechanism antibiotic kills Gram-negative bacteria and avoids drug resistance. Poison is lethal all on its own — as are arrows — but their combination…
In a collaborative study in this month’s issue of Engineering Structures, researchers at Princeton University and the University of Bergamo revealed the engineering techniques behind…
Princeton researchers detect a supercurrent — a current flowing without energy loss — at the edge of a superconductor with a topological twist. A discovery…
Commentary by Princeton University and Sunnybrook Research Institute highlights eight behavioral challenges to COVID-19. During any crisis, timely, and sometimes life-altering, decisions must be made,…
Philip Warren Anderson, one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the postwar era, died Sunday, March 29, at Princeton Windrows, age 96. Anderson was the…
New material has highest electron mobility among known layered magnetic materials. Properties make it a promising candidate for new areas like magnetic twistronic devices and…
Researchers demonstrate how the perfect flow of electrons on the surface of some types of topological insulators can be surprisingly fragile. Electrons race along the…
A Princeton-led team of astrophysicists has shown that this exoplanet is spiraling in toward its host star, heading toward certain destruction in about 3 million…
Princeton researchers find that division of labor and political polarization may be driven by the same processes in ant societies. Could the division of labor…
Princeton scientists demonstrate that two silicon quantum bits can communicate across relatively long distances in a turning point for the technology. Imagine a world where…
New data from the first two orbits by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. Outbursts of energetic particles that hurtle out from the sun and can disrupt…
Study shows economic status cues from clothes affect perceived competence. People perceive a person’s competence partly based on subtle economic cues emanating from the person’s…
An obstacle to generating fusion reactions inside facilities called tokamaks is that producing the current in plasma that helps create confining magnetic fields happens in…
Although nitrogen is essential for all living organisms — it makes up 3% of the human body — and comprises 78% of Earth’s atmosphere, it’s…
Study explores how superconductivity forms in iron-based materials. An international team led by researchers at Princeton University has directly observed a surprising quantum effect in…
Princeton University-led researchers have extracted 2 million-year-old ice cores from Antarctica that provide the first direct observations of Earth’s climate at a time when the…
