Researchers at NYU Langone Health have discovered that exposure to a widely used plastic additive called di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) could be linked to more than 350,000 deaths from heart disease globally in 2018 alone.
Throughout the years, there have been numerous trends within the workforce. One of these trends, quiet quitting, is one you may have heard of post-pandemic.
Stevens students are conducting aerospace research vital for a mission to Venus through NASA’s RockSat-C program. Teams of college students spend a year designing and building a payload of research equipment that will go aboard a rocket to conduct scientific experiments in space.
Researchers from Rutgers University have discovered a new way in which matter can exist. Dubbed a “Quantum Liquid Crystal,” this previously unknown quantum state expands researchers’ understanding of how matter can exist beyond the three traditional states.

For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has glimpsed the hidden exploits of dormant black holes. In clearer galaxies, these are typically observed by tidal disruption events (TDEs): cases where a galaxy’s central supermassive black hole gradually pulls in and tears a nearby star apart, releasing an intense surge of energy.
Final exams are an unavoidable part of many college students’ semesters. While the debate surrounding their existence may never end, it is objectively true that final exams can do their job well – as long as they are executed correctly.
