Northeastern University on Monday opened a nearly-quarter-billion-dollar hub for science and engineering research. The facility on Columbus Avenue was funded with help from the National Science Foundation. Research there will range from cybersecurity, drug discovery, robotics and climate change.

Amid uncertainty around the future flow of federal research dollars, Northeastern University celebrated the grand opening of its new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex on Monday, pointing to the $225 million facility as evidence of the school’s growing ambition and its commitment to scientific advances in Massachusetts. “This complex is a statement that this city, […]

More than two months after the Women’s March in Boston, volunteers who salvaged more than a thousand signs from the protest laid them out on the floor of a South Boston warehouse, covering about 15,000 square feet of space. “You could study these forever,” said Northeastern University professor Nathan Felde Saturday afternoon, watching colleagues step […]

The report also calls for businesses to put their money where their mouths are by helping colleges develop multidisciplinary programs in data science. It argues that the private sector should focus first on supporting applied and experience-building academic tracks, like Northeastern University’s master of data science, which offers students up to a year of pregraduation […]

According to research at Northeastern University, there is one specific cluster of nonverbal cues that proved statistically to be a highly accurate indicator of deception. The four nonverbal signals associated with lying are hand touching, face touching, crossing arms, and leaning away.
