Faculty/Staff Detail

Eric Edlund, Physics Department, and colleagues from Princeton University, were awarded a patent — number is 10,300,410 — for a new concept for a liquid centrifuge. Edlund conducted his postdoctoral studies at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory managed by Princeton University, where he examined issues of angular momentum transport in relation to the evolution of black holes. During this work, he constructed a new experimental device and established the measurements that became the basis of this patent.
