As the world scrambles to make sense of the new omicron variant of the coronavirus, Northeastern is ready to spot it if it enters our community. Northeastern’s COVID-19 testing laboratory can already detect the omicron variant through existing protocols. And that could save the university community precious time in identifying and responding to any threat […]

Scientists keep close watch of the omicron variant as it continues to spread across South Africa.

If humans are to live on Mars or the moon one day, we’ll need to be able to construct buildings to live, sleep, eat, and work in space. The way to do that, space agencies have said, is to 3D-print habitats or their components. But hauling enough of the Earth-derived materials used for most 3D […]

Jeffrey Agar and his colleagues are working on helping humanity develop treatments for hundreds of currently untreatable diseases

Maybe you have a headache, or a stuffy nose, or a sore throat, or a cough. You might feel fatigued, achy, or a bit feverish. After the last year and a half, you might immediately think that you have COVID-19. But those symptoms also describe the flu. Autumn marks the beginning of flu season. That’s […]

    Hear from Professor Aron Stubbins and students to discuss the interactions between humans and the environment. Explore the global cycle of plastics, the processes that breakdown plastics in the environment, and the ecological and human health implications of plastics and their by-products. Discover new innovations that may be instrumental in finding solutions to […]

New vegetable garden is growing at Northeastern's Boston campus, with participants from all academic backgrounds.

Plastics are everywhere - and that's a problem. New research published in Science finds that plastics may be altering the Earth’s carbon cycle and our ability to monitor it.

Complex chemistry, Machine learning, and quantum mechanics are fields that take strong computers and a lot of time to understand. Dr. Sijia Dong is simplifying that process by uniting the three.
