One of the world's foremost network scientists, Distinguished Professor of Physics, Albert-László Barabási is leading an interdisciplinary team of researchers on a quest to construct the human "diseaseome"--the sum of all human diseases and the ways they relate to one another.

Physics graduate student Jinzhong Zhang was one of the young physicists featured in an article about Data Mining for b-quarks.

North­eastern Assis­tant Pro­fessor of Physics, Toyoko Ori­moto, works at the Large Hadron Col­lider at the Euro­pean Orga­ni­za­tion for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzer­land.

A search that began almost 50 years ago is finally coming to a close. “But this is just the begin­ning,” said North­eastern physics pro­fessor Emanuela Bar­beris.

In March of last year, sci­en­tists working with the Large Hadron Col­lider at the Euro­pean Orga­ni­za­tion for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzer­land iden­ti­fied the Higgs boson, the last elu­sive par­ticle in the Stan­dard Model of physics.

The human genome is a vast parts list for the inner works of our biology. It codes for thou­sands of pro­teins that make us who we are and keep our bodies up and run­ning.

A growing number of researchers have begun devel­oping cre­ative ways to mea­sure suc­cess from a quan­ti­ta­tive point of view, from ana­lyzing cita­tion pat­terns to number-​​crunching pres­i­den­tial elections.

The pio­neering degree pro­gram, which will begin this fall, will focus on an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary field that seeks to under­stand the under­lying com­plexity of var­ious systems.

Congratulations to Professor Latika Menon who was awarded a grant for her project investigating an advanced filtration material that could potentially separate water from oil and other complex solutions.

How does sus­pense affect heart rate? Or what can be learned from mod­eling and ana­lyzing bacteria’s move­ments or exam­ining the dif­fer­ences in coor­di­na­tion due to hand dom­i­nance with and without visual feed­back?

New research into how materials act in space could lead to improvements in the design of everyday objects.

From tar­geted drug delivery mech­a­nisms to super­sen­si­tive imaging tech­niques, nan­otech­nology holds many promises for med­i­cine.

The Williams lab was awarded a 5-year $950,000 NSF grant beginning March 1, 2013 to probe single molecule DNA-ligand interactions

On Friday, May 17th, students from Northeastern’s chapter of Society of Physics Students (SPS) went up to Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH for a rocket launch competition, organized by NU Physics and Dartmouth Faculty.
