Northwestern University researchers have discovered a ubiquitous property of a complex network and developed a novel computational method that is the first to systematically exploit that property to control the whole network using only local information.

A new collection of research papers from Northwestern University and collaborating institutions sets out priority areas to provide better emergency care for people living with dementia in the United States.

Using STARFORGE simulations, astrophysicists discovered that star formation is a self-regulatory process. In other words, stars themselves set their own masses.

A new study focused on Black medical students finds those attending historically Black medical schools report a greater sense of belonging and greater confidence in their scholastic abilities than those in predominantly white medical schools.

A Northwestern University research team has identified a molecular switch, through a protein called CDK9, that plays an early and critical role in the skin stem cell differentiation process.

For the first time, scientists have recorded millimeter-wavelength light from a fiery explosion caused by the merger of a neutron star with another star. The researchers examined the short-duration gamma-ray burst's afterglow to determine its location.

Thanks to a gift from Nexstar Media Group, Inc., parent company of WGN Radio, a 70-year swath of WGN radio’s audio archive now resides at Northwestern University Libraries in the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections and University Archives.

Being exposed to work requirements in order to receive food stamps from the U.S. government significantly increased use of mental health care resources for depression and anxiety, a new Northwestern University study has found. The policy’s negative effects occurred much sooner for women than men.

As part of their COVID-19 global-surveillance efforts, scientists at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine have been traveling internationally to meet with local clinicians and scientists, including those who provide care to remote communities along the Amazon River.

Over the past 21 years of opioid overdose deaths, geography has played a role in where they have occurred, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study. But the coming wave will not discriminate between rural and urban areas, the study findings suggest. Every type of county—from the most rural to the most urban—is predicted to see dramatic increases in deaths from opioid-involved overdoses.
