Humans began creating alloys around 5,000 years ago by combining copper and tin to produce bronze. Since then, alloy design has advanced dramatically, says Moneesh Upmanyu, professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at Northeastern University. “Now, it’s definitely a science [and] less of an art because we have the periodic table and we know the properties of all these elements that we are mixing together,” he says.

Building and maintaining muscle strength is one of the most important factors to living a long and healthy life, according to Northeastern University experts. "Muscle mass really is the key to longevity. It really is our insurance policy for how long we want to stay functional," says Elaina Manolis, assistant clinical professor of physical therapy, human movement and rehabilitation sciences at Northeastern University.

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or neurodegenerative diseases. In their study, published in Mechanobiology in Medicine, the researchers discovered that the protein responsible for binding neural stem cells in the human brain, neuro-cadherin, also plays a key role in stimulating their differentiation.

Graduate student Kobe Miller came to Northeastern University from New Zealand to study sports leadership in 2023. This 9,000-mile leap led him to a job in youth development at the Boston Celtics. On Tuesday, Miller, a high-performance rower and athletes’ mental health advocate, was one of 100 graduate and professional students inducted into the inaugural Laurel and Scroll 100 Society of Distinction — a Northeastern graduate school equivalent of the university’s Huntington 100.
