To help people stay as happy, healthy, and productive as possible during the current pandemic, the Strategic Communications and External Relations team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has released “The Rensselaer Guide to Living and Working Well While Social Distancing.”
Using daily updated data, COVIDMinder, a new data visualization tool, examines how and why COVID-19 impacts regions differently by comparing community risks, mediation tools, and outcomes related to COVID-19 by state across the United States, and by county within New York state.
An instrument currently aboard the International Space Station could grow E.coli bacteria in space, opening a new path to bio-manufacturing drugs during long term space flights, according to research published today in Nature Microgravity
From Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerberg, the stories of prosperous, young innovators drive the American economic narrative. However, the truth is that older business entrepreneurs may be just as well suited to success. And older women are far more successful at launching a business than their younger counterparts.
TROY, N.Y. — There is a growing appreciation within the research community for the ways in which the biomechanics of the tumor environment may contribute to how its cells grow and even spread throughout the body. The closer researchers can get to re-creating those mechanical factors in the lab, the better they will understand tumor cell migration and how to stop cells before they invade other tissue.
Liping Huang, a professor of materials science and engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been named a fellow of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS) — an honor bestowed on members who have made “outstanding contributions to the ceramic arts or sciences.”
The temptation for businesses to use artificial intelligence and other technology to improve performance, drive down labor costs, and better the bottom line is understandable.

Manoj Gottipati, a research associate at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been awarded a $100,000 postdoctoral fellowship from the Paralyzed Veterans of America Research Foundation to support his research into a potential therapy for spinal cord injury (SCI).
In addition to the capabilities of one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute recently announced that it was making the expertise of its world-renowned faculty available to the broader research community to support work responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the late 19th century, scientists have understood that, when heated, all materials emit light in a predictable spectrum of wavelengths. Research published today in Nature Scientific Reports presents a material that emits light when heated that appears to exceed the limits set by that natural law.
