In the wake of the recent terror events, a Rutgers expert discusses how to discuss violence-related fears with young children and warning signs to anticipate.
Shantenu Jha is a RADICAL man. Jha and his RADICAL (Rutgers Advanced Distributed Cyberinfrastructure and Applications Laboratory) team operate at the crossroads of computing and science, and their work has benefited research in the molecular sciences, polar sciences and high-energy physics.
Free Physical Therapy Program at Rutgers Helps Patients Regain Mobility
A clinical trial underway – known as the AMP study (for Antibody Meditated Prevention) – will determine whether infusing an experimental antibody (VRC01) into HIV-negative men and transgender individuals who have sex with men, will prevent the acquisition of HIV.
Tuberculosis persists in many patients after they receive drug therapies, while others relapse after being successfully cured of symptoms, according to a study published in Nature Medicine. The findings highlight the importance of immune systems in eradicating the disease, and provide markers to test new treatments.
New Jersey suicide prevention hotline clinician says knowing the warning signs and what to say could save lives
Most Internet gamblers in NJ are men, but more high rollers are women, study finds
Rutgers University engineers have found a simple method for producing high-quality graphene that can be used in next-generation electronic and energy devices: bake the compound in a microwave oven. The discovery is documented in a study published online today in the journal Science.
"Taking Chances: The Coast After Hurricane Sandy" investigates whether Sandy was “a transformational event, just another storm or something in between.” Topics include the meteorology and climatology of Sandy, efforts to “Restore the Shore,” and impacts on water, wastewater and electrical utilities.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) recently awarded $149,388 to Collaborations Pharma, Inc. (CPI) to initiate a partnership with Rutgers aimed at developing a series of compounds for treating tuberculosis (TB).
Rutgers Gardens, a treasured oasis that draws thousands for classes, weddings and walks in the woods, is about to receive a rare honor and is on the cusp of a major facelift as it celebrates its centennial.
The phrase “tipping point” passed its own tipping point and caught fire after author Malcolm Gladwell’s so-named 2000 book. It’s now frequently used in discussions about climate change, but what are “climate tipping points”? And what do they mean for society and the economy? Scientists at Rutgers University and Harvard University tackle the terminology and outline a strategy for investigating the consequences of climate tipping points in a study published online today in the journal Earth’s Future.
Imagine a material lighter than steel, longer-lasting than lumber and strong enough to support 120-ton locomotives. Now imagine that material is made from milk containers, coffee cups and other plastics that we recycle. It’s called structural plastic lumber, and the ingenious, nontoxic material was invented by Thomas Nosker, an assistant research professor at Rutgers University. The late Richard W. Renfree, Nosker’s graduate student who later became a Rutgers professor, helped invent the revolutionary material.
A small, squishy vehicle equipped with soft wheels rolls over rough terrain and runs under water. Future versions of the versatile vehicle might be suitable for search and rescue missions after disasters, deep space and planet exploration, and manipulating objects during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), according to its creators at Rutgers University. Their most important innovation is a soft motor that provides torque without bending or extending its housing.
As Rutgers University's substance abuse helpline enters its second year, it counts its success one call at a time
The self-proclaimed 'sports junkie' changed sports broadcasting, how the world watches television
In Observance of World Environment Day, the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI), Rutgers University School of Public Health and the Rutgers University Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) are sponsoring a UNAI START Conference on “Our Environment & Our Health: Science and Solutions.” The conference will be held 10 am – 1 pm, 6 June 2016 at the United Nations Secretariat Building, Conference Room A.
Coral reefs – stunning, critical habitats for an enormous array of prized fish and other species – have survived five major extinction events over the last 250 million years. Now, an international team of scientists led by Rutgers faculty has conducted the world’s most comprehensive analysis of coral genes, focusing on how their evolution has allowed corals to interact with and adapt to the environment. A second study led by Rutgers researchers with colleagues at the University of Hawaii shows – for the first time – how stony corals create their hard skeletons, using proteins as key ingredients.
