No bird is in charge. Each one simply follows three instincts: don’t crash into your neighbors, match their speed and direction, and stay close to the group. That’s it. Three tiny rules creating those massive, breathtaking shapes in the sky.

Scientists found each bird only watches about six or seven neighbors, yet the whole flock moves as one. Some of the visuals in here are starling murmurations that demonstrate “scale-free correlation”, meaning one bird’s movement propagates across the entire flock almost instantaneously

Simple individual choices, multiplied thousands of times, become living art.

Yes, there actually is a National Inventor’s Day.
And yes, it’s today, February 11.

The date chosen isn’t random. Feb 11 is the birthday of Thomas Edison. National Inventor’s Day was officially established in 1983 by Ronald Reagan to recognize the people who build what the rest of us rely on. A bit of official gratitude for the builders, the patent-holders, the lab rats, and the garage dreamers.

It’s also reminder that progress doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because curious minds keep tinkering, follow their hunches, and ultimately create things that previously did not exist.

These aerial shots, captured by .co in December 2025, show the progress of the first 2 buildings to rise at the HELIX. H-1 is to the right, working towards it’s opening this year, while H-2 (the future home of )begins its ascent. Learn more at www.helixnj.com.

We needed a space, located directly inside the HELIX campus, dedicated to connecting early stage life science companies to the things they need most - infrastructure, capital, and relationships.

The New Jersey Innovation Hub, living within H-1 at The HELIX, will do exactly this. And we’ve tapped to help run it.

This is 30,000 SF of premier, state-of-the-art incubator & co-working space at the heart of THE HELIX. Portal brings its proven national model - having already supported over 90+ startups - to the Northeast STEM corridor.

Portal’s magic lies in their ability to integrate capital, labs, space, and a curated network into a single platform. Ultimately operating as a launchpad for next-gen life‑science companies.

Rutgers University’s Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) has been awarded a $13 million grant from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) to pilot six heavy‑duty Hyundai Motor Company XCIENT hydrogen fuel‑cell trucks at Port Newark aimed at replacing diesel drayage vehicles with zero‑emission alternatives in everyday freight work.

These hydrogen‑powered trucks will handle short‑distance container moves from the port to local warehouses and rail yards. A task traditionally dominated by diesel engines that produce substantial air pollution. The pilot, starting early 2026, includes building out fueling infrastructure, deploying the fleet, and collecting performance and emissions data over a year.

Rutgers CAIT is leading research, tracking efficiency, costs, and operational performance, with partners like PSEG, the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE), Hyundai Motor Company, and the The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. This collaboration is intended to position New Jersey as a hub for clean transportation innovation and workforce development.

The next era of global connectivity is being engineered right here in New Jersey.

Recently, the announcement of our plans for H-3 (the third HELIX building) included a new home for Rutgers WINLAB (Wireless Information Network Laboratory). With WINLAB joining the HELIX campus - alongside - we’re collectively establishing a powerful concentration of talent and research infrastructure dedicated to next-generation wireless networks.

A bit on both:

WINLAB, a pioneering force in wireless research since 1989, specializes in connecting people and devices at massive scale through advanced core technologies, analytics, and applications. Paired with the legendary innovation engine of Nokia Bell Labs, this duo transforms the HELIX into a global epicenter for research leadership across wireless networks, quantum computing, smart infrastructure, and more.

Nokia Bell Labs stands as one of history’s most iconic R&D institutions, driving breakthrough innovations for a century. Home to multiple Nobel Prize-winning discoveries including the transistor, information theory, and the CCD sensor, Bell Labs has fundamentally shaped modern technology. From inventing Unix and C programming language to pioneering cellular networks and fiber optics, its researchers have consistently transformed theoretical breakthroughs into world-changing technologies. Today, they continue this legacy with their work on AI-driven wireless networks, 6G systems, and even lunar communications.

This research is also deeply complementary to HELIX’s other core domains. The convergence of connectivity and the life sciences promise breakthroughs in digital health, telemedicine, connected devices, AI-driven diagnostics, and real-time biomedical data exchange across healthcare, biotech, pharma, and more.
