A hyper-sensitive instrument, deep underground in Italy, has finally succeeded at the nearly impossible task of detecting CNO neutrinos (tiny particles pointing to the presence…
Carbon is one of the main building blocks for life on Earth. It’s abundant in our planet’s atmosphere, where it’s found in the form of…
You might have observed plants competing for sunlight — the way they stretch upwards and outwards to block each other’s access to the sun’s rays…
Scientists have discovered a rare object called the Blue Ring Nebula, a ring of hydrogen gas with a star at its center. The properties of…
When atoms get extremely close, they develop intriguing interactions that could be harnessed to create new generations of computing and other technologies. These interactions in…
It’s not a coincidence that dogs are cuter than wolves, or that goats at a petting zoo have shorter horns and friendlier demeanors than their…
New radiant cooling technology keeps people cool outside. When most people think of cooling, they automatically imagine air conditioning (AC), or cooling the air in…
Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are nearly ubiquitous in modern life, providing the brightness in phone displays, televisions, and lights. A new form of LEDs, made…
The source of thermodynamic instability found in “rattling” behavior. Researchers in the Cava Group at the Princeton University Department of Chemistry have demystified the reasons…
Magnet’s novel quantum effects extend to room temperature. An international team led by researchers at Princeton University has uncovered a new class of magnet that…
A research team led by Princeton University has developed a technique for tracking online foreign misinformation campaigns in real-time, which could help mitigate outside interference…
Study detects the critical point between 2 liquid forms of water. Water, so ordinary and so essential to life, acts in ways that are quite…
Why don’t planets collide more often? How do planetary systems — like our solar system or multi-planet systems around other stars — organize themselves? Of…
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…
