Social distancing is nothing new in the time of COVID. But new research of the well-studied zebrafish (Danio rerio) has captured a previously undocumented behavior of the animal that takes such measures to the extreme — and the end result resembles the frenzy of a circle pit typically associated with heavy metal concert-goers.
Researchers record and model the electrical activity of circadian clock neurons in a day-active animal for the first time — a breakthrough toward better understanding what makes the circadian biological clock in humans and other diurnal species tick.
From NJIT to Apple to Google and back, senior computer science and mathematics major Ricky Palaguachi always expands his peer network around those who share Hispanic heritage.

After a year layoff, one of NJIT’s standout annual research events returned to the campus community this month — more than 30 of the university’s top student-researchers took to their webcams to present their work for a virtual audience at the 2021 Dana Knox Research Showcase, "A Glimpse Into the Future.”
Breathing in and out. It’s so simple we often forget we’re doing it, but birds have mastered an even more efficient trick that’s been long-shrouded in mystery — breathing so that the air in their lungs flows in one direction.
