The only color left survived the fire… not despite being small, but because of it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #photography #resilience #spring #flowers

A person walks through a shadowed passageway towards sunlight, beneath a vibrant, abstract mural featuring bold colors and intricate patterns.

Walking through the frame of something larger than yourself… the world opens at the end of the corridor. #photography

That’s perfect!

Two small birds perch closely on bare branches. The left bird has brown streaks, while the right has a red head. Wintery branches create a serene backdrop.

Stopped by the ribbon cutting for the new Commons Visualization Lab this week and couldn’t resist experimenting a little… (In between chatting with colleagues I don’t get see often, I played around with glass reflections and some double exposure). #photography

Andlinger Center supports projects to increase building energy efficiency and remove atmospheric carbon dioxide Two tiers of funding have been awarded this year: the Convergence Project receives up to $428k of support over two years and the Seed Project receives up to $143k.

Exciting progress at the Andlinger Center! Two new interdisciplinary projects are being funded to boost building energy efficiency and advance atmospheric CO₂ removal — including AI‑driven retrofit design and robotics-enabled manufacturing.

Ariane Adcroft: Fresh thinking in building efficiency could have a big impact An Andlinger Center summer intern, Adcroft has explored multiple projects and gained awareness of how crucial building efficiency will be in reducing energy needs.

“Using building automation software in your building, you can reduce your energy usage by about 50%.”

As an intern with @andlingercenter.bsky.social, Ariane Adcroft '26 helped construct a climate chamber to study different heating and cooling technologies.

Great talk today at Princeton! Will be sure to get my copy of your book this weekend. Today’s new verb: chickenize.

Dirty water boosts prospects for clean hydrogen Wastewater can replace clean water as a source for hydrogen production, eliminating a major drawback to hydrogen fuel and reducing water treatment costs by up to 47%, according to new research from Pr...

Dirty water, clean energy?

Princeton researchers found a way to turn #wastewater into green #hydrogen. No fancy purified water needed. This finding could cut water treatment costs by nearly half and boost clean fuel production. 🧪 #energy

New materials make high-performance membranes the filters of the future Princeton researchers demonstrate the potential of MXenes, a class of water-loving, single-layer materials with high electrical conductivity, for separating ions and compounds from complex solutions.

Researchers in Kelsey Hatzell’s lab at Princeton are developing MXene membranes — ultra-thin, electrically conductive, water-loving materials — to separate ions more efficiently even in messy, real-world solutions. 🧪

Under a Philly bridge, capturing jagged light trails with my unsteady hands shaken by the beat of the music playing in my car.

Learning to lean into the chaos, find clarity in motion, and appreciate the beauty of progress — even when it’s messy. Growth doesn’t always come in quiet moments; sometimes it arrives in a blur of deadlines, decisions, and discoveries.

A sad-looking car sits and waits outside a patio window.

There once was a cat full of grace,
Who pawed at the cold window’s face.
With a pitiful mew,
And eyes full of dew,
He begged for a warm, cozy place.

Making the clean energy transition a win-win for climate and health In a Q&A, Wei Peng and members of her group synthesize their decade-long work to model the air pollution and health impacts of the clean energy transition.

New illustration by me: Reframing the clean energy transition

Princeton professor Wei Peng and her team have been working hard to create a model that helps us understand how the shift to clean energy will affect air pollution and our health.
