A total solar eclipse makes its way across several US states on Monday, April 8. Ahead of that rare event, NYU Tandon's applied physics department chair offers some fascinating facts, including how long it will take for another full eclipse to impact the region and what ancient cultures believed was happening to the disappearing sun.

Indirect viewing is safe viewing! NYU Tisch photography student Max Ruibal demonstrates how to build a pinhole camera (also known as a camera obscura) to view the eclipse on April 8, 2024. You'll need a cardboard box, foil, tape, a thumbtack, scissors, and a crisp white sheet of paper.

NYU Langone ophthalmologist Nitish Mehta, who specializes in surgery to treat diseases of the vitreous, retina, and choroid areas of the eye, explains how permanent damage to the retina occurs and offers tips for how to enjoy the eclipse safely.

AI systems like GPT-4 have made headlines for how well they learn and use human language, but they do that by ingesting astronomical amounts of data from the internet-more text a human would encounter in 100,000 years. Human babies, meanwhile, learn words with much less input, just by absorbing what's in their own environment. What would happen if an AI system had to learn words the way kids do...

Flash flooding on September 29 caught many New Yorkers by surprise, closing subway stations and flooding major roadways. A system of sensors developed by NYU Tandon researchers hopes to alleviate some of that pain. Named FloodNet, the devices are installed throughout the five boroughs and transmit real time flood data to a publicly available, interactive dashboard. The researchers hope these de...

Bobst library houses millions of volumes, 53,320 serial titles, and over 43,000 linear feet of archives.

The conservators working there-tucked away in workshops on one of Bobst’s lower levels-use an array...
