B. Parazin, BS in Physics, recently received the Barry Goldwater Scholarship, one of the nation’s most prestigious, merit-based awards for undergraduate students who plan to pursue research careers in natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics.

In recent research physics professor Arun Bansil has been tackling the topic of quantum bits in recent research, something that may be the key to "unleashing the potential of the quantum revolution."

Anika Padin, S’23, is taking over our Instagram account Tuesday, March 8 from Milan, Italy. She is participating in the Wednesday, March 9, Good Power of Science: Women in Science event as well. Follow along as she shares her Northeastern experience! Look back at her takeover experience here! Tell us your major and projected graduation […]

Assistant professor of physics Max Bi has dedicated years of work at the intersection of two fields: physics and biology. Today, such work has earned him the prestige of being a 2022 Sloan Research Fellow.

Health experts often use the word "endemic" when referring to our future once the COVID-19 pandemic leaves its frenzied early years. Alessandro Vespignani discusses what "endemic" really means.

As Omicron levels are finally on the downfall and warmer weather approaches, Alessandro Vespignani predicts that we "may be able to breathe a little easier."

Northeastern experts bring clarity to the different ways we talk about the corona virus. Alessandro Vespignani adds to the conversation on cases versus infections.

Professor Alessandro Vespignani comments on the difference between previous COVID peaks and the current Omicron surge.

As citizens worry about the trajectory of the Omicron variant in the U.S., professor Alessandro Vespignani provides a positive prediction for the future.

Recognizing the groundbreaking research of four faculty members who have been named on 2021's list of "Highly Cited Researchers."

A virus that moves as quickly around the globe as the omicron variant could spell disaster just as people are traveling and gathering for holiday and New Year celebrations. But the devil’s in the details when it comes to COVID-19—and that could be a good thing.

Hear from Professor Paul Stevenson and colleagues to learn about how physicists are researching ways to further understand quantum materials and their potential benefits. Our researchers will help deconstruct the complexity of quantum science and explain the potential advancements and impact on daily lives.

Alessandro Vespignani is knighted by the Italian government for his contributions to advancing cooperation between Italy and the United States during the pandemic.

Say you’re an aspiring physicist, probing the quantum world to gain insight into the fundamental nature of reality. There are two ways to go about your scientific odyssey, but both involve very expensive machinery. One way is to smash a bunch of atoms together, revealing their subatomic guts; another is to toss them under a […]
