Yihzi You, assistant professor of physics, received a prestigious CAREER award from the National Sciences Foundation to study specific interactions between subatomic particles.

Jacqueline McCleary, assistant professor of physics, helps explain the implications of the historical discovery of 44 stars by a group of astronomers.

Esteban Moro, professor of physics, and colleagues across the country analyzed how remote work impacted commerce.

Eliassi-Rad is one of several Northeastern researchers who have proposed a new area of study they are calling “Human AI Coevolution” to better understand and analyze these feedback loops. Other researchers on the project include Northeastern professors Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Albert-László Barabási and Alessandro Vespignani.

Northeastern professor Max Bi explains how crowd dynamics lead to stampedes, offering insights for safer venues and survival strategies.

Tedeschi worked in The Peter Grünberg Institute, which is one of 14 institutes within Forschungszentrum Jülich. The institute focuses its research on a few specific subjects: quantum materials, quantum computing, software systems and the area Tedeschi worked on — neuromorphic computing.

On June 3-7 2024, the Physics department and the College of Science hosted the 2024 edition of the Large Hadron Collider Physics conference (LHCP) on our Boston campus. This is one of the major international conferences in particle physics at colliders (the Large Hadron Collider and beyond). This conference is held annually on alternating continents, […]

Today, Monday November 18th, marks the fifth year of celebrating LGBTQ+ STEM Day. With the first two years being celebrated in July, this holiday moved to November 18th as an internationally recognized day to highlight and celebrate the work of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM.  Madeline Eppley (they/them), a 4th-year PhD candidate in Marine and Environmental […]

Jonathan Blazek, assistant professor of physics, said the geometric storm won’t have a severe impact on technology.

Frozen in Siberia, this mammoth was remarkably preserved at the microscopic level, Northeastern researchers discovered. Its DNA had remained the same for thousands of years, frozen as “chromoglass.”

The Advancing Women in Science Scholarship (AWS) demonstrates the commitment of the College of Science to increase the representation and advancement of women in science majors and careers. Eligible candidates include full-time undergraduate women enrolled in the college. As part of the Advancing Women in Science community, scholarship recipients participate in quarterly meetings with a cohort of fellow awardees focused on professional development and mentoring skills.   

For two months, a small asteroid will join Earth’s orbit, a common yet little known occurrence. However, a Northeastern astrophysicist has her eyes on another asteroid that will be a much closer call for the planet.

A plan to reopen a reactor at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant could rejuvenate the nuclear energy sector in the United States.

We are delighted to welcome new faculty members with primary appointments in the College of Science whose teaching and research builds the Good Power of Science, trains the next generation of science professionals, and solves crucial research challenges.
