Graduate student Diego Arguello is working on a study funded by the National Institute of Aging to help improve and sustain physical activity and fitness in older adults using AI.

To sit less and promote healthy aging, artificial intelligence may be key

Diego Arguello, a doctoral student working in the Exercise Science Laboratory at Northeastern, is running a clinical trial funded by the National Institute on Aging that looks at using AI to help combat what’s become an epidemic of sedentariness in modern life that’s linked to early death and poor health.

From battling the coronavirus to modeling the forces responsible for the creation of galaxies, supercomputers are helping to solve some of the most pressing problems in the world today.

He troubleshoots the world’s fastest supercomputers, where system failure can cost millions

These systems are prone to numerous kinds of failures and glitches, and Northeastern University assistant professor Devesh Tiwari was recently recognized for his work on making these large-scale computers more reliable.

Large crowds of people with and without masks fill Times Square in New York City.

It could be too late to stop the Delta variant–and to achieve ‘herd immunity’; Here’s why

Now that cases are rising across the country again because of the high transmissibility of the Delta variant, even with more than half of the U.S. population fully vaccinated, it’s time that health authorities rethink the pandemic “endgame,” says Neil Maniar, professor of the practice and director of the Master of Public Health in Urban Health program at Northeastern.

‘Holy grail discovery’ in solid-state physics could usher in new technologies

The findings, published recently in Nature, center mostly on the discovery of a so-called topological axion insulator, a unique state of quantum matter that researchers previously only theorized the existence of, according to Northeastern physicist Arun Bansil. “It’s like discovering a new element,” Bansil says. “And we know there’s going to be all sorts of interesting applications for this.”
