Asian American women face higher rates of liver cancer and heart disease, yet receive almost no research funding and are left out of most health studies. Now, a public health expert is leading the charge to rewrite the rules.
NYU is solving diseases faster by throwing out the old playbook: instead of keeping scientists in separate buildings, they're mixing engineers, doctors, and AI experts into teams focused on beating specific diseases. Early wins include a startup detecting airborne pathogens and "inverse vaccines" that could cure celiac disease and allergies.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Scientists at New York University have created time crystals you can see with your naked eye, suspended in mid-air by sound waves on a device small enough to hold in your hand. This breakthrough makes exotic quantum physics accessible and could revolutionize computing and data storage.
NYU researchers have pinpointed exactly where and how the brain stores visual memories that let us instantly recognize something we've seen just once. The breakthrough could help millions with neurological disorders and revolutionize artificial intelligence.
