A research team from New Jersey Institute of Technology is uncovering mysteries surrounding fluids in nanoporous materials, and has been recently awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support this research.
Two NJIT projects have been awarded as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) People, Prosperity, and the Planet (P3) Program. The $1.2 million program funded 16 different student-based projects throughout the country to research and develop innovative solutions that address environmental and public health challenges.
The NJIT projects will tackle water quality and the detection of “forever chemicals” in the air.
As data from the Anti-Defamation League shows antisemitism growing on college campuses in recent years and spiking after the Hamas-Israel conflict, a New Jersey Institute of Technology researcher is doing her part to combat the trend by developing a training model that will help prepare mental health professionals who work with Jewish students.
With the recent launch of its Center for Translational Research, NJIT is promising to quicken the pace of converting lab research into beneficial, market-ready products and services.
Recently, the ingenuity of Newark College of Engineering’s brightest first-year students was on full display at the 2024 NCE First Year Engineering Design Showcase.
Practice makes perfect, and a new system being tested and perfected enables surgical trainees to obtain cutting-edge instruction in real-time through a new artificial intelligence program.
As medical students conduct surgical exercises, the AI software scans a live video feed and provides immediate, personalized feedback.The solution is among the first generation of AI teachers giving real-time feedback and may pioneer the use of similar instructional technology in other industries, including additional areas of healthcare and medicine.
Machines still can’t think, but now they can validate your feelings, based on new research from New Jersey Institute of Technology Assistant Professor Jorge Fresneda.
Fresneda started his career as a chemist and then became an expert in neuroanalytics. He studies how measurements of brain activity and skin conductance can predict a person’s emotions with high accuracy, and how such information can be used in fields such as entertainment, management, marketing and well-being.
Six NJIT researchers have secured grants in the latest round of funding provided by the New Jersey Health Foundation (NJHF), which has increased its funding in both its Community Health, Social Services and Education Program, as well as its traditional research program this year.
The $4 million round of funding brings the NJHF’s total to $70 million since the inception of its annual grant program.
In the 1967 film “The Graduate,” the protagonist is advised by a family friend to pursue a career with a great future: “plastics.” Decades later, as waste from the now ubiquitous material fills landfills, leaches microparticles and clutters oceans, a growing number of students and professors are focused instead on ways to recycle and remediate it.
Researchers report one of the fastest and most sensitive approaches yet for detecting toxic per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) accumulating in the environment, which are linked to health risks ranging from cancers to birth defects.
