education in energy and the environment
Training the next generation of leaders in energy and environmental issues is a key goal of the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. Students can enroll in Andlinger Center courses (course code ENE) on topics including sustainable design, biofuels, solar energy, geoengineering, and more. Students also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to practice in laboratory courses through the design of sustainable building system components, such as temperature sensors, and the fabrication and testing of batteries.

February 2026 Newsletter
At the Annual Meeting last year, our experts pointed out that achieving true circularity needs a big-picture approach, solid policy backing, and active community involvement. We’re thrilled to welcome an alumnus as a visiting fellow exploring energy and architecture. Claire White is also the proud recipient of the RILEM 2026 Robert L’Hermite Medal. And there’s more to discover.

Inch by inch, this machine is leading soft robotics to a more energy efficient future
Princeton researchers have developed a flexible, lightweight and energy efficient soft robot that moves without the use of any legs or rotary parts. Instead, the device uses actuators that convert electrical energy into vibrations that allow it to wiggle from point to point using only a single watt.
