Emirati national Aisha Al Yazeedi, a research scientist at the NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Center for Astro, Particle, and Planetary Physics, has published her first research…
A team of scientists has uncovered how heavy, motorized objects climb steep slopes — a newly discovered mechanism that also mimics how rock climbers navigate…
Data collected can be used to provide new insights into the evolution of the Kuiper Belt, and the larger solar system. Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), small…
Good oral health, including dentures, may protect against cognitive decline. Tooth loss is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia–and with each tooth lost,…
‘Scintillating starburst’ offers insights into visual processing. A new class of illusion, developed by a visual artist and a psychology researcher, underscores the highly constructive…
Analysis of 260 million years of major geological events finds recurring clusters 27.5 million years apart. Geologic activity on Earth appears to follow a 27.5-million-year…
Researchers compared metabolic responses to human malaria in children of different populations. In 2019, 409,000 people died of malaria–most were young children in sub-Saharan Africa….
Study tests viability of 100-year old patented device by inventor. A valve invented by engineer Nikola Tesla a century ago is not only more functional…
This study marks the first time researchers have sequenced the genomes of plants from ancient germinated seeds. Researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi’s Center for Genomics…
New findings offer potential to enhance flow engineering. Birds breathe with greater efficiency than humans due to the structure of their lungs — looped airways…
A team of scientists has detected the presence of a high-energy neutrino — a particularly elusive particle — in the wake of a star’s destruction…
D614G mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, now ubiquitous, increases virus’ ability to infect human cells. A mutation in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2—one of…
A team of neuroscientists has identified a potential means to address the loss of cognitive function due to Alzheimer’s disease by targeting protein synthesis in…
Seasonal variation may be explained by new year’s resolutions. Marijuana use increases throughout the calendar year, with use up 13 percent on average at the…
NYU Tandon researcher devises a mathematical system for identifying influences between geographic phenomena that makes small data sets as effective as big data in identifying…
Our brains respond to language expressing facts differently than they do to words conveying possibility, a team of neuroscientists has found. Its work offers new…
Researchers find that timing of mass extinctions lines up with asteroid impacts and massive volcanic eruptions. Mass extinctions of land-dwelling animals — including amphibians, reptiles,…
A team of NYU scientists has developed a method using holographic imaging to detect both viruses and antibodies. The breakthrough has the potential to aid…
