NJIT physicists trace sun’s magnetic engine, 200,000 kilometers below surface

New Jersey Institute of Technology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) analyzed nearly three decades of solar oscillation data to trace the Sun’s interior dynamics, and have now pointed to the likely location of the star’s magnetic engine deep beneath its surface — roughly 200,000 kilometers down, about the length of stacking 16 Earths end to end.

New model uses team interactions to predict next steps in collaborative work

North Carolina State University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Finding the right information at the right time is critical for solving complex problems. Researchers have developed an algorithm that helps individuals locate needed information more efficiently by drawing on both a user’s own history and behavioral cues, as well as the history and behavioral cues of teammates collaborating to solve the problem.
