- Princeton study reveals an emergent electronic behavior on the surface of bismuth crystals that could lead to insights on valleytronics, which refers to energy valleys in crystals that can trap single electrons. These valleys could be used to store more information than modern electronic devices do. https://blogs.princeton.edu/research/2018/08/17/a-valley-so-low-electrons-congregate-in-ways-that-could-be-useful-to-valleytronics/ 7 comments science
- Researchers develop new statistical model which predicts that climate change will amplify dust activity in parts of the U.S. in the latter half of the 21st century, which may lead to the increased frequency of spectacular dust storms that have far-reaching impacts on public health and infrastructure https://blogs.princeton.edu/research/2017/07/17/new-model-projects-an-increase-in-dust-storms-in-the-us/ 8 comments science
