Neutron stars — dead stars with a mass of up to two times our Sun squeezed into a ball the size of New Hampshire’s coastline — are among the densest objects in the universe. The composition of their interior holds clues to the expansion of the universe and the creation of black holes.

“I want to reframe everyone’s mindset that nursing and human security can’t go together, because they can and should. I think there’s this very strong, preconceived notion that nurses are at the bedside and we’re just clinicians,” says Kristy Miyashita, a current master’s student pursuing a Global Conflict and Human Security degree from the Carsey School of Public Policy. “I want to reframe that mindset.”

Stuart Grandy, professor of soil biogeochemistry and fertility and co-director of the UNH Center of Soil Biogeochemistry and Microbial Ecology (Soil BioME), was recently named a fellow of the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA).

UNH leads a new USDA-funded agroforestry project that studies integrating crop and animal farming in forested areas for enhanced food production, carbon sequestration and climate resilience.

Subsidy welfare programs are critical in ensuring that economically disadvantaged individuals and families can access essential services such as child care, education, healthcare and housing. However, current funds allocation formulas may fail to ensure equitable outcomes across different service areas.

Households on public water systems are willing to pay an average of $13.07 a month, or $156.84 annually, on their monthly bills to protect themselves from PFAS — potentially cancer-causing chemicals — according to new research from the University of New Hampshire.  

This amount is insufficient to cover the costs of municipal-level treatment. It does, however, align more closely with the costs of home water treatment systems that are effective at removing PFAFS from drinking water   

UNH receives USDA grant to explore crop row orientation and cover cropping strategies, aiming to boost climate-resilient farming practices and enhance soil health.

UNH and Australian company SPEE3D, a global innovator in metal 3D printing technology, inaugurated the company’s first U.S.-based manufacturing and applications site at the university’s John Olson Advanced Manufacturing Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday, June 17. SPEE3D develops printers that can efficiently produce metal parts in locations where traditional supply chains are impacted, from battlefields to submarines.
