In research that may eventually help crops survive drought, scientists at Princeton University have uncovered a key reason that mixing material called hydrogels with soil…
Soil on a chip experiments conducted by Princeton researchers mimic the interactions between soils, carbon compounds and soil bacteria, producing new evidence that large carbon…
Iron-catalyzed [2+2] oligomerization of butadiene produces (1,n’-divinyl)oligocyclobutane, a new polymer that can be chemically recycled. Credit: Figure by Jonathan Darmon of the Princeton University Department…
A team led by Princeton physicists discovered a surprising quantum phenomenon in an atomically thin insulator made of tungsten ditelluride. The results suggest the formation…
Plastic pollution is ubiquitous today, with microplastic particles from disposable goods found in natural environments throughout the globe, including Antarctica. But how those particles move…
This diatom species, Fragilariopsis kerguelensis, is a floating algae that is abundant in the Antarctic Ocean and was the major species in the samples collected…
A Princeton-led team of physicists have discovered that, under certain conditions, interacting electrons can create what are called “topological quantum states,” which, has implications for…
The Borexino detector, a hyper-sensitive instrument deep underground in Italy, has finally succeeded at the nearly impossible task of detecting CNO neutrinos from our sun’s…
The waterborne algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Credit: Image by He et al Carbon is one of the main building blocks for life on Earth. It’s abundant…
Pepper plants were grown in a greenhouse at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC) in Madrid to investigate how their below-ground behavior differed when…
A team of scientists including Princeton’s Guðmundur Stefánsson investigated the mysterious Blue Ring Nebula, composed of expanding hydrogen gas (blue) expanding from a central star,…

Princeton researchers have refined the manufacturing of light-emitting diodes made with crystalline structures known as perovskites, a more efficient and potentially lower-cost alternative to materials…
The arrows represent the electron spins pointing up from a kagome lattice. The chirality is represented by the counterclockwise circle of fire, which represents the…
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…
While three planets have been detected in the Kepler-431 system, little is known about the shapes of their orbits. On the left are a large…
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…
