Suborno Bari became the world's youngest professor at age 7, teaching university students while most kids were learning multiplication tables. Now 12, he's finished high school and is studying at New York University.
A video game designer turned her teenage struggle with calorie counting into a healing tool for others. "Consume Me" uses gentle gameplay to show how eating disorders quietly affect daily life.
Researchers discovered how a protein called SLIT3 helps brown fat build the blood vessels and nerves it needs to burn calories instead of storing them. This breakthrough could lead to new obesity treatments that boost metabolism rather than just reducing appetite.
New York University just launched a quantum research institute that's breaking down the walls between scientists, engineers, and real-world companies. The goal: turn quantum science from theory into technology that actually works.
Scientists discovered that difficult childhoods can rewire the brain-gut connection, causing digestive issues decades later. The breakthrough could transform how doctors treat stomach problems.
Researchers discovered how a protein called SLIT3 helps brown fat build the blood vessels and nerves it needs to burn calories effectively. This breakthrough could lead to obesity treatments that increase energy burning instead of just reducing appetite.
In one of the greatest upsets in Division III basketball history, undefeated Scranton stunned NYU 60-52, ending the Violets' incredible 91-game winning streak. The dramatic Final Four matchup showcased the beauty of college sports, where anything can happen on any given night.
Researchers discovered how to cool data centers using waste heat from factories and a common mineral, slashing electricity use by up to 86 percent. The breakthrough could help the booming AI industry grow without overwhelming America's power grid.
Scientists at NYU Langone Health discovered small plastic fragments in most prostate cancer tumors they examined, with cancerous tissue containing twice as much plastic as healthy tissue. While the finding doesn't prove microplastics cause cancer, it highlights a potential health concern and the need for more research.
Scientists at New York University discovered how to use light like a remote control to build microscopic crystals, melt them, and rebuild them again. This breakthrough could lead to displays that change color on command and sensors that adapt instantly to their environment.
Millions face vision loss from age-related macular degeneration, but simple lifestyle changes can help delay or prevent the condition. An NYU ophthalmologist shares science-backed steps anyone can take today.
Physicists at NYU just made styrofoam beads dance through time by suspending them on invisible sound waves, creating a breakthrough that rewrites the rules of physics. This surprisingly simple discovery could one day revolutionize quantum computing and help us understand our own biological clocks.
European leaders are demonstrating stronger unity in supporting Ukraine as diplomatic efforts intensify to find a path toward peace. Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk shared insights at the Munich Security Conference on Europe's commitment during this critical moment.
Physicists at New York University have created time crystals you can hold in your hand—made from styrofoam beads that float on sound waves and defy Newton's laws of motion. This breakthrough could unlock insights into everything from heart pacemakers to financial markets.
More than 16 million Americans suffer from dry, itchy eyes, but an NYU eye doctor says one surprisingly simple habit could prevent the problem. Properly removing makeup each night protects your eyes in ways you might not expect.
Scientists at NYU College of Dentistry discovered a treatment that could help oral cancer patients manage severe pain without building up dangerous tolerance to opioids. The breakthrough uses existing FDA-approved drugs already on the market.
Physicists at NYU built a handheld device using foam beads and sound waves that breaks Newton's Third Law and could unlock secrets of quantum computing and human biology. The exotic time crystal fits in your palm and uses technology as simple as packing peanuts floating on acoustic waves.
Researchers at NYU have pinpointed exactly where those sudden flashes of insight happen in your brain, solving a mystery that's puzzled scientists for decades. The discovery could help millions with conditions like schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
NYU researchers discovered the exact brain region responsible for sudden flashes of recognition that help us instantly identify blurry objects. The breakthrough could lead to better treatments for hallucinations and smarter AI that learns like humans do.
Physicists at New York University have discovered a new type of time crystal made from simple styrofoam beads that levitate on sound waves and defy traditional physics. The handheld device opens doors for quantum computing advances and helps us understand how our own bodies work.
