Sewers could help clean the atmosphere .
Researchers at Princeton have concluded that sewer plants serving municipalities worldwide offer a major option for capturing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Although cautioning that research and development is needed before the systems could be deployed, the team identified several potentially viable paths to using sewage as a carbon sink — that is, sewer plants could clean the atmosphere as they clean water.
Machine learning could reduce testing, improve treatment for intensive care patients .
Researchers from Princeton University are developing a computational approach to help clinicians more effectively monitor patients’ conditions and make decisions about the best opportunities to order lab tests for specific patients.
Going quantum to unlock plants' secrets .
Gregory Scholes, Princeton’s William S. Tod Professor of Chemistry, suspects that the key to plants’ efficiency stems from their ability to harness quantum physics, the unintuitive behaviors of very small particles.
External Partnerships
Princeton faculty members collaborate with colleagues throughout the world to carry out important, cutting-edge research and scholarship.
Celeste Nelson (center), a professor of chemical and biological engineering at Princeton, worked with a research team including Victor Varner and Mei Fong-Pang to examine how fluid pressure helps control the rate of development of embryonic lungs.
Collaboration Is Key
It is through collaborations that Princeton's faculty transform laboratory research into real-world projects that can make a difference to society.
