‘Seeing’ Atoms by Combining a Million Blurry Shadows
If a biologist wants to look at something small, she could squint, or pick up a microscope to shape the light entering her eyes.
Stone and Sturm named to National Academy of Inventors
The National Academy of Inventors has named Princeton engineering professors Howard Stone and James Sturm among 168 fellows for 2019.
Foam offers way to manipulate light
There is more to foam than meets the eye. Literally. A study by Princeton scientists has shown that a type of foam long studied by researchers is able to block particular wavelengths of light, a coveted property for next-generation information technology that uses light instead of electricity.
Schmidt DataX Fund supports research projects that harness data science to speed up discovery
Nine data-driven research projects have won funding from Princeton University’s Schmidt DataX Fund, which aims to spread and deepen the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning across campus to accelerate discovery.
Naor receives Ostrowski Prize in Higher Mathematics
Professor of Mathematics Assaf Naor has been awarded the 2019 Ostrowski Prize in Higher Mathematics in recognition of his pioneering achievements at the interface of the geometry of Banach spaces, the structure of metric spaces and algorithms.
Nuclear warheads? This robot can find them
Picture a swarm of autonomous, three-foot rolling robots armed with smart detectors to support nuclear safeguards and verify arms-control agreements.
René Carmona and François Delarue to Receive the 2020 Joseph L. Doob Prize
The 2020 Joseph L. Doob Prize will be awarded to the two-volume set Probabilistic Theory of Mean Field Games with Applications, I and II, written by René Carmona and François Delarue, and published in 2018 by Springer-Verlag in its series Stochastic Analysis and Applications.
