A new multidisciplinary project that aims to expand America’s competitive edge in semiconductors is underway through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Lab and faculty members across campus, including Princeton Chemistry’s Alice Kunin.

The Scholes Group develops a means to a physical representation of the exponential complexity of quantum computing on a classical platform using expander graphs.

Turns out that the black plastic lid atop your coffee cup has a superpower. And the Stache Lab, which uncovered it, is exploiting that property to recycle at least two major types of plastic.

Spintronics is emerging as a potential opportunity for more efficient data storage of the future. In a recent paper, the Schoop Lab identifies a design strategy for materials that could one day find application with this technology.

Today a fourth-year in the Knowles Lab, Alberto Castanedo believes in the value of the tough questions that helped bring him to Princeton Chemistry. Enjoy his take on graduate school.

Backed by a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Weichman Lab will provide benchmarks to interpret data from NASA’s infrared space telescopes and identify new classes of molecules formed in space.
