Northeastern’s Center for STEM education hosted the 67th annual Boston Science Fair over the weekend, where middle- and high-school students presented research on topics ranging from basketball bouncing to cellular signaling.
Applications like invisibility cloaking can’t be realized until the metamaterials that enable them are operable at a range of frequencies. New research from associate professor Hossein Mosallaei could lead to this possibility.
New research from pharmaceutical sciences professor Richard Deth suggests a regulatory role for a well-known enzyme, and it may be impaired in autism.
Experts from academia and the public and private sectors converged at Northeastern for a daylong symposium focused on how to design sustainable cities for the future.
At a recent event at Northeastern University’s graduate campus in Seattle, President Joseph E. Aoun called Northeastern’s graduate campus initiative a “50-year investment” in the city that will focus on degree programs in high-demand fields and thoughtful research and educational collaborations.
