Here, 新 (xīn) is used as an adjective to describe something that is newly acquired or unused, emphasizing the state of being new.

This is the knowledge I recently learned.
In this sentence, 新 (xīn) modifies 学到 to indicate the recency of acquiring knowledge, showing an adverbial usage to denote something recent.

新 (xīn) again acts as an adjective here, describing 'place' to emphasize that the location is different and recently settled upon.
