PEI awards $1.01 million in Water and the Environment Grand Challenge projects
The ecological impacts of extreme weather, a national “climate park” in the New Jersey Meadowlands, and engineered nanoparticles that target groundwater pollutants are among the 13 projects funded by the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI) as part of its Water and the Environment Grand Challenge program.
Algorithms could stop an ‘internet of things’ attack from bringing down the power grid
Last year, Princeton researchers identified a disturbing security flaw in which hackers could someday exploit internet-connected appliances to wreak havoc on the electrical grid. Now, the same research team has released algorithms to make the grid more resilient to such attacks.

Researchers reverse engineer the ‘fireworks of life’
Imagine standing in a lumberyard and being asked to build a house — without blueprints or instructions of any kind.
Engineering faculty receive presidential early-career awards
Four faculty members of the School of Engineering and Applied Science have been named recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their research careers.
Optimizing operations for an unprecedented view of the universe
Under construction on a remote ridge in the Chilean Andes, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will boast the world’s largest digital camera, helping researchers detect objects at the solar system’s edge and gain insights into the structure of our galaxy and the nature of dark energy.
