Researchers unfolded elegant equations to explain the enigma of expanding origami : Read Story Most materials thin out as they are stretched, but engineers can use origami’s interlocking ridges and precise folds to reverse this tendency. Read Story Technique inspired by lace making could someday weave structures in space : Read Story Researchers were able to describe the mathematics that underlie many forms that can be created from thin strips of flexible material. Read Story Princeton chemists grapple with ‘Karma’ : Read Story It turns out there is such a thing as a “karma” machine, and it lives on the ground floor of Frick Laboratory. Read Story Rethinking microchips' design pushes computing to the edge : Read Story Princeton researchers have created a new chip that speeds artificial intelligence systems called neural nets while slashing power use. Read Story 3D printing startup Uniformity Labs raises $38 Million : Read Story Uniformity Labs is a startup that is translating Princeton innovations into widespread use. Read Story 1 / 5 Start animation ▶ ︎ ︎ Materials and material systems with complex architectures and functions from the nanoscale to the macroscale are critical for a diverse set of applications ranging from tissue engineering to computer architectures. The Princeton Materials Institute researchers provide key innovations and expertise in 3D printing, additive and subtractive manufacturing, non-equilibrium materials processing, integration of semiconductor devices/architectures, and large area electronics/materials.
