Lauren Taylor, a postdoctoral research associate in the Princeton Materials Institute, has been awarded the 2023 Dale Grieb Safety Award by the School of Engineering and Applied Science for her contributions to laboratory and workplace safety.
Jerelle Joseph seeks to uncover the rules behind the formation and evolution of cellular droplets known as biomolecular condensates, in which molecules come together to break down nutrients, send signals to neighboring cells, or turn on stress responses.
Montaño López was joined by fellow winners Geneva Smith, Pasquale Toscano and Ryan Unger. The Jacobus Fellows will be honored at Alumni Day ceremonies Saturday, Feb. 24.
The fellowships support the students’ final year of study at Princeton and are awarded to…
Membership in the National Academy of Engineering is widely seen as one of the highest honors in the engineering profession. The 2024 class includes 114 members and 21 international members — researchers from across industry, academia and government.…
The award comes as part of NSF’s Faculty Early Career Development Program that supports junior faculty who exemplify leadership in education and research. It comes with nearly $600,000 in research funding over five years.
As part of her research into how lungs develop before birth, she and an undergraduate mentee found they could measure the effect of a particular chemical on the patterns of lung growth in chicken embryos. They excitedly submitted their work for peer review but were met with a lukewarm response.
“One of the reviewers said that this is…
With additional testing and development, a novel material developed by Princeton researchers could make existing and emerging applications for hydrogels — such as artificial muscles and soft robots for safe operation around humans — more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
A new window into the nitty-gritty mechanical interactions between liquids and fibrous networks in cells should advance understanding on many biomedical fronts. In addition, the findings offer avenues for exploration in materials science toward “soft matter” substances with novel characteristics.
The event, part of the global climate conference COP28, featured 100 inventions that address environmental and social challenges. Five projects won awards in separate categories, including the Princeton team’s category: Energy, Efficiency and Waste.
While the first…
The American Vacuum Society’s (AVS) Plasma Science and Technology Division gave Hoffenberg the award for his work advancing the process to make these metal nanoparticles more sustainably and with higher purity. The 69th AVS Symposium was held in Portland, Ore. in November.
While metal nanoparticles are increasingly important for high…
