Something in the Air
Jonas Peters, Bren Professor of Chemistry, explains how fundamental discoveries can have global impacts.
Energy and the Environment
From seminal research on smog in the 1940s to today’s work on reliable electricity grids, renewable energy, water conservation, and measuring Earth’s climate from space and on land, Caltech researchers unite across fields and institutions to translate discoveries into new technologies and inform policy decisions. Your support can help tip the scale toward a cleaner and more sustainable future for society.

What’s in a Name?
In the case of Caltech’s Theodore Y. Wu Professorship, established with a generous gift from Li-San and Anne Hwang, the answer is 55 years of friendship.
The Synthesist
Like many who come to Caltech to learn and explore, undergraduate Damien Bérubé dreams of changing the world with science and engineering. But his personal vision—the force that drives him in the classroom, the lab, and beyond—is an uncommon one.
Two Years In, the Campaign Continues to Create New Possibilities
Since its public launch in April 2016, Break Through: The Caltech Campaign has broken Institute fundraising records. While Break Through looks to secure Caltech’s future as a source of discovery for the world, the campaign already is making an imprint on campus and beyond by supporting Caltech people who are pursuing big questions and bold ideas.
How to Advance Earth Science
Collaborating with students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members at Caltech is as rewarding for professor of geophysics Victor Tsai as it was when he was an undergrad.
