Seven quirky sprinklers upend Feynman and Mach on reverse sprayers

New York University researchers tested seven deliberately odd “silly” sprinkler designs to pit Mach’s angular-momentum idea against Feynman’s suction-based theory. Across all designs, rotation depended on the sprinkler’s central hub where the arms meet, not on how water carried momentum inside the arms or on nozzle geometry. The results debunk both classical explanations and suggest a unified view: the hub’s dynamics govern the spin. This insight could inform engineering designs that convert fluid flow into rotation, with potential applications for turbines and energy-harvesting devices.

NYU Non-Tenure-Track Faculty Strike Ends as Union Wins Raises and Job Security

NYU reached a tentative five-year contract with about 950 non-tenure-track faculty represented by CFU-UAW, ending a strike that began earlier this week. The deal includes minimum raises of $14,000 by the next academic year, with 95% of members projected to earn more than $100,000, and 3.5% annual raises retroactive to September 2025. It also addresses salary compression and includes guardrails on AI use and academic freedom, pending ratification by union members.

Sound-Levitated Time Crystal Demonstrates Nonreciprocal Interactions

NYU physicists have observed a visible, classical time crystal formed by millimeter beads levitated in a standing sound wave. The beads exchange sound waves in a nonreciprocal way, causing them to oscillate in a steady rhythm while hovering, a behavior that violates Newton's Third Law. The device stands about a foot tall and the work, published in Physical Review Letters, hints at links to biological timing systems and could influence future tech in quantum computing and data storage, though practical uses are still years away.

NYU Professor's AI Oral Exams Reveal Student Performance Insights

An NYU professor used AI-powered oral exams to better assess student understanding and combat the limitations of traditional written assignments, which often lack genuine comprehension. The experiment involved AI conducting and grading live oral exams, demonstrating a scalable and potentially fairer assessment method in the AI era, despite some student stress and mixed preferences.

Revolutionary Math Model Accelerates Crystal Structure Prediction

Researchers at New York University have developed a mathematical approach called "Crystal Math" to predict crystal structures in hours using a laptop, a process that previously required supercomputers and took weeks or months. This method, which relies on mathematical rules and simple physical descriptors, addresses the limitations of physics-based methods and has shown high accuracy in predicting structures of complex molecular crystals. The approach holds promise for the pharmaceutical industry and the development of new compounds.

"Experts Warn of Overvaluation as Wall Street Eyes Bitcoin ETFs"

As Nvidia's stock continues to surge, NYU's "Dean of Valuation" Aswath Damodaran believes the company is "particularly overpriced" at its current levels. Damodaran, known for his expertise in valuing companies, expressed concerns about the stock's valuation following its significant rise this year. Nvidia's shares have seen a sharp increase in value, prompting caution from experts like Damodaran who believe the stock may be overvalued.
