Researchers have created tiny biological robots that they call Anthrobots from human tracheal cells that can move across a surface and have been found to encourage the growth of neurons across a region of damage in a lab dish.
Two NJIT undergrads and an alumnus have landed prestigious awards from the New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists (NJ-SPJ) for their outstanding contributions to the university’s student newspaper, The Vector.
In a study published in Nature Astronomy, astronomers from New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (NJIT-CSTR) have detailed radio observations of an extraordinary aurora-like display — occurring 40,000 km above a relatively dark and cold patch on the Sun, known as a sunspot.
NJIT Mathematics Professor Linda J. Cummings has been named a Fellow by the American Physical Society (APS) for her “outstanding contributions to physics.”
The APS Fellowship Program recognizes members who have made “exceptional contributions to the physics enterprise in physics research, important applications of physics, leadership in or service to physics, or significant contributions to physics education.”
Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (NJIT-CSTR) have captured the Oct. 14 solar eclipse in a way never seen before — recording the first radio images of an annular eclipse’s famous “ring of fire” effect.
The eclipse was partially visible to much of the continental U.S. for several hours that Saturday, though the full “ring of fire” effect was only visible for less than five minutes, and only for those within its 125-mile-wide path of annularity.
A new project led by New Jersey Institute of Technology researchers is underway to help New Jersey’s lower-income homeowners take advantage of the state’s clean energy programs.
The initiative arrives in support of the state’s recent commitments to the Clean Energy Act outlined in the New Jersey Energy Master Plan: Pathway to 2050, which includes “developing a community solar program that allows more state residents to benefit from solar energy, especially low- and moderate-income (LMI) families.”
A New Jersey Institute of Technology forensic team’s crime scene reconstruction of a 1994 shooting in Queens, N.Y. has helped clear the names of two wrongfully convicted men who spent a combined 37 years in prison for murder.
Since graduating from NJIT in 2012 with a B.S. in chemistry, Tessy Ritchie has found success as a chemist, recently taking a leading role in shaping the future of public health and booming medical technology industry expected to reach nearly $580 billion by the end of 2023.
NJIT biology professor Eric Fortune and a team of scientists, known as “Team Waponi”, have reached the final stage of the five-year, $10M XPRIZE Rainforest Competition.
In June, Fortune and 13 other team members traveled to the rainforests of Singapore to compete in the semi-finals of the global competition, which challenged teams to develop and demonstrate new technologies for mapping the vast biodiversity of the world's tropical forests.
NJIT Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Omowunmi Sadik has earned the exclusive distinction of being named Fellow by one of the largest scientific organizations globally, the American Chemical Society (ACS).
Sadik's “outstanding contributions to science, the profession, and ACS” over her 30-year career earned her selection into ACS's 2023 class of 42 fellows, which was recently recognized at the Society’s Fellow Ceremony in San Francisco.
