Eli Harari is the founder and CEO of SanDisk, a global leader in flash memory, the computer storage technology that is fundamental to a wide range of consumer electronics, from digital cameras to mobile phones. Harari earned his doctorate in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton in 1973.

Project X, a fund is administered by the dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, gives faculty members in the engineering school the freedom to pursue hunches and unconventional ideas, even if those ideas are outside their direct expertise.

One of the instruments on a superfast research craft mapping the Earth's atmosphere was invented by Princeton's Mark Zondlo to measure water vapor. "In discussions about global warming, carbon dioxide and methane get all the attention, but water vapor impacts climate more than any other gas," says Zondlo.

A survey tool developed at Princeton melds concepts from sociology and computer science to allow an organization to quickly set up a free website where large numbers of people can contribute and rank ideas. Click through to read the story and contribute your own ideas.

These lectures serve as a primer on the science of combustion. They constitute the core of a summer school lecture program organized by Princeton's Combustion Energy Frontier Research Center (CEFRC), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The courses were taught by Norbert Peters, a professor of RWTH-Aachen, in Germany, Dr. Charles K. Westbrook of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Dr. Stephen J. Klippenstein of the Argonne National Laboratory. For further informatio
