Researchers have developed a fast and accurate way to determine fruit quality, piece by piece, using high-frequency wireless technology. It promises to help cut food waste by optimizing distribution.
Researchers have found in a new study an inexpensive, sustainable alternative to mechanical cooling with refrigerants in hot and arid climates, and a way to mitigate dangerous heat waves during electricity blackouts.
Researchers have submitted a set of papers featuring a groundbreaking new map of dark matter distributed across a quarter of the sky, extending deep into the cosmos, that confirms Einstein’s theory of how massive structures grow and bend light over the 14-billion-year life span of the universe.
Nine research teams across the U.S have modeled the effect of the IRA on U.S. carbon emissions. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the landmark federal climate law, has committed nearly $400 billion to mitigating climate change.
Princeton University’s Jesse Jenkins, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, has been a leader of both the national and the global charge to net-zero, along with his Net-Zero America project collaborators.
A Princeton-led team of biologists found when the seven known flying mammals evolved flight they recycled some of the same genetic parts that had been in their DNA since dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Researchers have found that dozens of viruses can eavesdrop on the communication between bacteria, or respond to quorum-sensing or other chemical signals from bacteria.
A groundbreaking technique presents a new way of gathering and organizing highly detailed information about organic tissues in record time.
Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber argues that a college degree is worth the cost, despite a majority of Americans now believing the opposite.
As evidence mounts that gas drilling and sewer systems leak far more greenhouse gases than previously believed, a team of Princeton researchers has developed a method to pinpoint leaks both big and small for speedy repair.
