With a $1.3 million grant from the Air Force Research Laboratory, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will explore the design and potential of next-generation supercomputers that incorporate a highly efficient “neuromorphic” processor, which more closely represents the human brain in its architectural design. 

Extended innovative certificate program fills laboratory management training gaps.

Earlier on April 5, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator began its second act. After two years of upgrades and repairs, proton beams once again circulated around the Large Hadron Collider, located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.

New material opens the door to low-cost, environmentally friendly energy use.

New endowed professorship and research collaboration will focus on regenerative medicine. 

The “information loss paradox” in black holes — a problem that has plagued physics for nearly 40 years — may not exist.

In lab and mouse experiments, cigarette smoke helps drug-resistant bacteria fight off the immune system.

Advances enhance performance of mass spectrometers.

Poor performance in STEM courses, low focus on STEM coursework in first year contributes to students switching majors.

The National Science Foundation has awarded the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves $14.5 million over a five-year period to create and operate a Physics Frontiers Center aimed at using radio timing observations of pulsars with the Green Bank Telescope and Arecibo Observatory to detect and study low-frequency gravitational waves.
