Ever since CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland, opened its doors in 2008, researchers at its Hadron Collider have pushed for their results to be publicly accessible.

North­eastern senior Justin Dowd said a rev­o­lu­tion is coming in space flight—and he has a front row seat to prove it.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Swastik Kar who has received an NSF Career Award.

There are examples of art imitating nature all around us--whether it's Monet's pastel Water Lilies or Chihuly's glassblown Seaforms, the human conception of natural pehnomena dazzles but does not often surprise.

More than 35 mil­lion people around the world now live with HIV/ ​AIDS. While drug dis­covery efforts to combat the dis­ease have been suc­cessful, mul­tiple treat­ments are required because the virus mutates and develops resis­tance to indi­vidual drugs.

In 2011, sci­en­tists suc­cess­fully engi­neered a lethal avian flu virus to be trans­mis­sible between birds as well as mam­mals and pos­sibly humans.

A collaborative team led by a Northeastern University professor may have altered the way we look at drug development for HIV by uncovering some unusual properties of a human protein called APOBEC3G (A3G).

Sudden car­diac arrest is the leading cause of death in the indus­tri­al­ized world. How­ever, it’s not well under­stood and is chal­lenging to both pre­dict and effec­tively pre­vent, according to Alain Karma, Arts and Sci­ences Dis­tin­guished Pro­fessor in the Depart­ment of Physics.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Paul Whitford who has received an NSF Career Award for $954K.

Dr. Tanmoy Das receives an Early Career award from the Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC).

For every Hungarian living in Greater Boston, there are about 4,000 non-Hungarians. Despite its small size, however, the Hungarian community has formed a tight social network, according to recent research from Distinguished University Professor of Physics Albert-László Barabási and Ancsa Hannák, a doctoral candidate in network science.

The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs. Join us for the 2013 Nobel Prize Colloquium event with guest speaker Joseph Incandela on Friday, November 22 in SH 305.

There are some ques­tions that you don’t need to be a sci­en­tist to ask. You need to be a little kid,” said Baruch Barzel, a post-​​doctoral research asso­ciate at Northeastern’s Center for Com­plex Net­work Research.

Professors Swastik Kar and Srinivas Sridhar's ARL-funded (U.S. Army Research Laboratory) project on Graphene Bolometers was recently mentioned on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
