Say good bye to cryogenic chilled propellant in your rocket!

Rocket Boffins@ NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently fired up a magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster (aka "electric thruster") that runs on lithium metal vapor.

This prototype achieved power levels (120 kilowatts) beyond the highest-power electric thrusters on any of the agency’s current spacecraft.

Fully developed and paired with a nuclear power source, they could support payloads required for human Mars missions. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-fires-up-powerful-lithium-fed-thruster-for-trips-to-mars/ #NASA #JPL #Princeton #ElectricPropulsion #Rockets #Space #Mars #Lithium #Thruster #RocketThruster #electromagnetic #magnetoplasmadynamic

The brilliant historian Joan Scott on the "Palestinian exception" to freedom of speech at #Princeton, despite the very public pronouncements in support of academic freedom by President Eisgruber.

The descriptions of the sanctions, including denial of tenure, to humanities faculty who engaged with the #Gaza solidarity protests by students (who were also harshly punished, despite being right about Israel's genocidal plan), such as acting as observers or providing an optional class exercise, are exacting in their documentation of unfairness and hostility toward free inquiry.

“You can have a healthy fossil-fuel balance sheet, or a relatively healthy planet”*…

The first two installments of what will be an on-going series from ProPublica and Drilled, covering fossil fuel companies in the 1990s who, even as they denied the reality of climate change, were quietly funding research that favored climate fixes that would protect their businesses…

An investigation by ProPublica and Drilled has found that fossil fuel companies have been funding climate research at prestigious U.S. universities for more than 30 years. Their support has helped amplify the work of scientists who promote the idea that we can stop the climate crisis without breaking our dependence on oil, gas, and coal.

The research produced by those schools in turn shaped global climate models, as well as the policy and technology solutions adopted by governments around the world.

Ultimately, it fostered a misperception that climate change could be solved without dramatically curtailing fossil fuels — a notion that has delayed emissions cuts by decades.

Corporate funders sponsored entire centers, paid the salaries of researchers, kept offices on campus and in some cases had veto power over projects.

Companies maintain they are supporting innovation and needed science. Universities say that with safeguards, sponsorship enhances research programs while preserving academic independence.

Still, the impact of funding constitutes a pattern that Benjamin Franta, an associate professor of climate litigation at University of Oxford, called the “colonization of academia.”…

“Why Carbon Capture Can’t Conceivably Solve Climate Change“- For decades, oil companies have funded universities’ research into climate change “solutions” that would not require the public to stop using oil and gas. Carbon capture is one of their favored ideas. One snag: It won’t fix the climate crisis. From Katie Worth and Lucas Waldron.

“How Oil Execs Shaped A Landmark Climate Study“- BP created an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” shaped climate discourse for a generation. From Maddie Stone.

As the first piece concludes…

Climate experts know about the costs, technical troubles, and failures of CCS [Carbon Capture and Sequestration] test projects.

Yet many of them have continued to boost the technology, even as they have downplayed solutions showing greater progress.

For example, the same modelers who overestimated the potential of geological carbon storage repeatedly underestimated solar power — one of the energy technologies that would allow more oil to remain in the ground.

A distressing– but critically important– read. How the fossil fuel industry turned the plan to solve climate change into a plan to save itself: “Carbon Captured,” from @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social.

And as a reminder that, while climate change is certainly reason enough, it’s by no means the only reason to care: “Five Americans die every hour from toxic vehicle emissions, study finds.”

This is an interesting take on why LLMs won't take away all our jobs:

"Large language models are not reasoning machines. They’re plausibility engines."

Interestingly, the author excludes programming jobs, stating that coding "relies on a structured, formal language that can be tested in real time." I agree to some extent, but at the level of specifications and requirements (even if they are formal) this doesn't work anymore either.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures.

Robert Socolow was a founder of the Carbon Mitigation Initiative of #Princeton University. He has articulated pathways to reduction of carbon dioxide emissions for minimizing climate change, especially the concept of climate stabilization wedge.

In his 2007 Senate testimony, Robert Socolow cited the proposed 500-MW H2 and #CCS project at BP's Carson refinery in California as evidence of the technology's commercial maturity. The project was highlighted as an example of a near-commercial, full-scale deployment effort.
But it never happened.

"Research Funding Slows Again for Universities Targeted by White House."
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/us/politics/trump-university-research-funding.html

The Trump admin has put holds on many approved research grants to #Harvard, #Duke, #Princeton, and #Yale. For example, as of May 1, #NSF had only awarded about 10% of its research funds, half as much as in past years. But when media like #NYTimes asked about these holds, the admin lifted about a dozen of them, without explaining why it had blocked them or why it changed its mind.

WGRZ: Princeton ends 133-year no-proctor exam tradition amid AI cheating concerns. “Princeton’s honor system dates back to 1893, when students petitioned to eliminate proctors from exams and instead pledged not to cheat or assist others in cheating. Faculty formally banned exam proctoring that same year, creating one of the university’s most distinctive academic traditions. The newly […]
