Leaders from industry and academia met at Princeton University to discuss three big questions surrounding the broad theme of "water": infrastructure, the water/energy nexus, and industrial water.

Solar electricity installations and other distributed sources of electric power present increasingly pressing questions for public utilities, regulators and consumers, according to organizers of a recent roundtable meeting co-sponsored by Princeton E-ffiliates Partnership. IEEE, the top professional society in electrical engineering, awarded its Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology to Stephen Chou, Princeton University's Joseph C. Elgin Professor of Engineering. University - Back to nature: Garnet Chan explores quantum roots of chemical reactions.

Garnet Chan, Princeton's A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Chemistry, uses quantum mechanics to understand the behavior of atoms and electrons during natural processes, such as photosynthesis, so that scientists can apply this knowledge to products benefiting society. Photos by Danielle Alio, Office of Communications Posted December 19, 2013; 12:00 p.m. by Catherine Zandonella, Office of the Dean for Research Nature performs remarkable feats of chemistry — enabling, for example, plants to take in sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to create their own food, and in the process, pump out oxygen for the rest of the planet. Princeton University professor Garnet Chan's goal is to understand how these feats of chemistry take place, by going back to the quantum mechanical roots of the atoms and electrons involved. Chan, the A. Below, Chan explains his research on using quantum mechanical laws — the rules that describe atoms and other very small particles — to understand how photosynthesis works.
