Thanks to collaboration between Tufts and MIT physicists,Tufts University has received cuttings from an apple tree that traces to the English farm where Sir Isaac Newton lived. The apples that grow at Tufts could descend from the fabled one that dropped on Newton and led to his theory on the universal law of gravitation.
