Northeastern will soon embark on a collaborative project to bring the methods of network science to the world of small particles and novel materials, with help from a substantial National Science Foundation grant. 

At the intersection of quantum materials and revolutionary technological applications, two Northeastern community members’ latest contribution to "Science" unveils the phenomenon of a new type of nonlinear Hall effect—a discovery with tantalizing implications for our future. Postdoctoral Research Associate Barun Ghosh and University Distinguished Professor Arun Bansil of Northeastern's Department of Physics were recently published in this widely respected and reputable academic journal for their research article, “Quantum metric nonlinear Hall effect in a topological antiferromagnetic heterostructure.”

From robotics engineers to cheese enthusiasts, there’s a club for everybody at Northeastern. 

On August 4, 22 Northeastern University students participated in the College of Science Entrepreneurship Workshop at the Warren Conference Center in Ashland, Massachusetts. This new program aimed to ignite a passion for entrepreneurship in College of Science students and to enhance leadership skills that are useful in all career paths.

Marijuana, pot, weed, mary jane, cannabis; whatever you call it or however you consume it, cannabis is treasured around the world. With the widespread legalization of medical marijuana in the United States — 38 states, three territories and the District of Columbia — there’s a buzz about it among scientists.

There’s a blue supermoon in the astronomical forecast for Wednesday, Aug. 30.

Hello everyone! I am Janvi Choksi, currently pursing Master’s Of Science in Biotechnology and my expected date to graduation is December 31st, 2024. 

The monarch butterfly is one of the most widely recognized and admired creatures native to North America. 

A new antibiotic discovered by Northeastern distinguished professor Kim Lewis could be a significant new weapon in the growing fight against drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Astronomers are pulling out all the stops: A telescope tethered to a football-stadium-sized balloon, a camera the size of an SUV and twice as heavy nestled in the Chilean mountains, a tiny blue cube filled with chilled liquid argon sitting in a Northeastern lab destined for balloon flights. And, of course, the James Webb Space Telescope.

“We came to a point of realization that the work and research that we have done at Northeastern has propelled us into many situations that we never thought possible before joining,” Dillon says.  

For many of us, our first word was either “dada” or “mama.” A concept known as “statistical learning” likely played a role in helping us reach that milestone. Statistical learning, or SL for short, is a foundational theory of language development used to explain the process by which a person gains the understanding to detect,...
