Alina Marian, a new associate professor of mathematics in Northeastern University’s College of Science, thinks of geometry not just the study of shapes but a look into heart of the universe and its origins. “It’s the most abstract end of science—it’s mathematics at its core,” said Marian of her research, which is tied to the […]

Experimenters at Northeastern University and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new technique for studying the vibrational properties of a protein at low frequencies. The team of researchers, led by Northeastern University physics Prof. Tim Sage, found a way to measure low-frequency vibrations of iron-based heme molecules by using the X-ray Science Division 3-ID x-ray […]

Argonne National Lab and the Journal of Chemical Physics have highlighted a new technique developed by Professor Tim Sage and his team. This technique provides crucial information on the vibrational dynamics of hemes and heme proteins.

For making economical ice cream, liquid nitrogen certainly isn’t the best choice. But for the budding chemist looking to make a tasty treat from scratch — and draw a sizable crowd on campus while doing it — it beats plain old ice any day. “It’s a rather expensive way to make ice cream, but it […]

Northeastern University biology professor Joseph Ayers is part of a team of scientists who have received a three-year, $600,000 grant from the Office of Naval Research to create a fleet of micro-robots designed to locate explosive compounds from hundreds of thousands of live mines that have been hidden underwater since World War I. “The primary […]

Professor George Alverson met this week with local high school physics teachers to help test and revise the Quarknet Masterclass exercise, which will be used this spring nation-wide.

Ginestra Bianconi, an assistant professor of physics at Northeastern University, was part of a team of scientists who discovered an innovative way of using external stimuli, such as x-rays, to bring disorganized oxygen atoms to a state of equilibrium in only one day—a process that would normally take months to accomplish.

From the coastal shores of Northeastern’s Marine Science Center (MSC) in Nahant, Mass., high school students this summer found themselves contributing to a massive global mission to assess ocean life. The experiential learning opportunity for the young biologists was part of the center’s Coastal Ocean Science Academy, a two-week summer program run each summer that introduces […]

Edward Vaisman (Class of 2012) is a dual major in Electrical engineering and Physics who doing a co-op in Geneva, Switzerland.

The CMS collaboration, represented at Northeastern by Professors George Alverson, Emanuela Barberis, and Darien Wood, and others, submitted its one-hundredth physics paper for publication.

Network scientists at Northeastern University have collaborated with an interdisciplinary team of colleagues in cell biology and interactive data acquisition to create the first large-scale map of a plant’s protein network. The results of the study were published in the July 29 issue of Science magazine. The team’s research findings — which could eventually be applied […]
