Description: In September and October, NYU’s A Mile in My Shoes—in partnership with the Empathy Museum—welcomed students, faculty, administrators, and staff to enter a life-sized shoe box (think: a medium-sized Winnebago), pluck a pair off a shelf, try them on for size, and take a stroll while listening to the original owner’s story. Some of the museum’s 350 previously collected stories from across 19 countries were available to listen to alongside new, NYU entries produced by and featuring voices from the university community. Those offering anecdotes included a disability advocate, a war veteran, a hospital chaplain, and more.
In one of the exhibit's storytelling exchange workshops—facilitated by experts from Narrative 4—NYUers gathered to pause, listen to each other, and gain new understanding of the people they pass on campus each day.

Description: “One of the common misconceptions that people have is that they think when things get hard, they need to start to motivate themselves by thinking about ‘why’: ‘Why am I doing this? What’s my big motivation here?’ ” says Emily Balcetis, an associate professor of psychology at NYU.

But in speaking with Olympic athletes, she found some surprising approaches to both completing races and to enhancing performance.

“One strategy that people think is intuitive is that when things get hard—when it starts to hurt—runners might want to distract themselves to take their mind off the pain,” she explains. “But actually, what we found in a study of elite runners and those that were training for the next marathon was that actually they don’t do that at all. Instead, it’s thinking about the how. It’s returning to thinking about ‘What are the concrete steps I need to take to move from here to there?’ That helps them push through those challenge...

Description: Time crystals, a collection of particles that “tick”—or move back and forth in repeating cycles— were first theorized and then discovered about a decade ago. While scientists have yet to create commercial or industrial applications for this intriguing form of matter, these crystals hold great promise for advancing quantum computing and data storage, among other uses.

A team of New York University physics researchers has now observed a new type of time crystal—one whose particles levitate on a cushion of sound while interacting with each other by exchanging sound waves. In the process, these particles defy Newton’s Third Law of Motion.

Title: Hot Takes: Pain Researcher Nigel Bunnett Explains How to Build Better NSAIDs
Runtime: 1:52
Date posted: 12 months ago
Description: Nigel Bunnet, Professor and Chair of NYU Dentistry's Department of Molecular Pathobiology, explains new research he discovered on NSAIDs.

NSAIDs, or Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, are an extremely common variety of pain relief medicine. There are over the counter varinets such as Advil or aspirin or prescribed forms such as Celebrex and Voltaren.

Though common, NSAIDs have side effects that can be dangerous, and long-term usage can result in significant cardiac risk.

In a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications, a team of researchers successfully identified the mechanisms that make NSAIDs work. These findings are an important step in creating new medicines that can relieve pain without many of its dangerous side effects.

Title: Accelerating Climate Modeling at a Lower Cost
Runtime: 1:09
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: Scientists are increasingly turning to AI to model future changes in the climate. However, existing approaches often face a trade-off between accuracy, speed, and computational cost.

Researchers at NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Center for Data Science have now developed a first-of-its-kind neural network—Samudra—that emulates the ocean in 3D. Samudra (Sanskrit for “ocean”) reproduces key ocean model variables, including sea surface height, ocean currents, temperature, and salinity throughout the ocean’s depth, offering a detailed look at earth’s vast waterways. Moreover, it does so at a rate that is 100 times faster than many existing methods—and is conducted at a lower computational cost.

Samudra’s creators see the breakthrough as significantly advancing our present and future understanding of the world’s oceans, which absorb more than 90 percent of excess heat and 25 percent of carbon dioxide emissions and are ess...

Description: New Yorkers are spotting their share of lanternflies this season. Since these colorful pests first arrived in New York City in 2020, they’ve inspired curiosity, calls to stomp them, and fear about their ability to harm trees and other plants.

They also caught the attention of NYU biology professor Kristin Winchell and doctoral student Fallon Meng, who study how wildlife adapt to cities. The researchers are exploring how factors like urban heat and human transportation are enabling spotted lanternflies to thrive and spread in the US, including to colder regions.
