Princeton, Intel, Yale and Penn Medicine Receive Award for Cloud-Based Brain Mapping Project

By shifting a fundamental property of computation, Princeton researchers have built a new type of computer chip that boosts the performance and slashes the energy demands of systems used for artificial intelligence.
The chip, which works with standard programming languages, could be particularly useful on phones, watches or other devices that rely on high-performance computing and have limited battery life.
Researchers at Princeton and MIT have found a way to save big on power consumption for data centers while making a key electronic component much smaller.
It’s often easy to imagine balloons soaring or butterflies fluttering across a still image, but realizing this vision through computer animation is easier said than done. Now, a team of researchers has developed a new tool that makes animating such images much simpler.
Niko Fotopoulos, a Princeton sophomore, is a co-founder of Blackwell, a medical technology startup. The Blackwell team spent this past summer at Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs, the first undergraduate team to do so.
How did you (and your team) come up with your business ideas?
Elizabeth Adams, a national leader in sponsored research administration in academia, has been named director of the Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA) at Princeton University, effective Aug. 13.
Reporting to Dean for Research Pablo Debenedetti, Adams will oversee ORPA, which has a staff of 18 people who provide support and guidance to researchers and departmental administrators on sponsored research and project administration.
A federal court in Washington, D.C., has reaffirmed its earlier ruling in a lawsuit brought by Princeton University, one of its undergraduate students and Microsoft that the federal government’s decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was unlawful.
In a ruling Friday, Aug. 3, U.S. District Judge John D. Bates gave the government until Aug. 23 to determine if it will appeal the decision, which would require the government to accept new DACA applications and issue renewals.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced on Wednesday, July 25, two initiatives to jump-start the state’s innovation ecosystem. He addressed officials and guests at Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs in Plainsboro, which formally opened in May.
