Billions upon billions of soot particles enter Earth’s atmosphere each second, totaling about 5.8 million metric tons a year — posing a climate-warming impact previously estimated at almost one-third that of carbon dioxide.

Now, researchers say the climate-altering properties of these particles can change within just hours of becoming airborne, rather than days as previously assumed.

Most people finish college and then look for full-time employment or enroll in graduate school, but Don Bonifacio did both and is constantly challenging himself to learn new things.

Bonifacio graduated in May from New Jersey Institute of Technology with a B.S. in computer engineering and was a member of Albert Dorman Honors College. He now works at Verizon planning behind-the-scenes engineering for their fiber optic network and is simultaneously continuing in the NJIT computer engineering department this fall for a master’s degree in his field.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has been awarded a cooperative agreement worth $5 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation to develop a self-assembling robotic conveyor system to improve the rebuilding of infrastructure, particularly after disasters.

Researchers from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have used artificial intelligence to tackle a critical problem facing the future of energy storage: finding affordable, sustainable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries.

New research from New Jersey Institute of Technology and Yale University, intended to help identify obscure patterns in overwhelmingly large and convoluted data, is producing novel side effects that advance the state of very old and very new technology.

NJIT Distinguished Professor David Bader said the inspiration for a joint $540,000 National Science Foundation grant, “Scalable Algorithmic and Software Foundations for Subgraph Counting and Enumeration," is that existing pattern-finding science is struggling to keep pace with modern data sets.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and NYU researchers are working together to break ground in the field of digital accessibility through a newly funded effort to make online video content more inclusive for deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) viewers.

Most people haven’t heard of resistive RAM — one of several evolving types of computer memory that could become mainstream someday — but its chances at commercial success improved recently, because of insightful new research from NJIT and commercial partner Tokyo Electron.

Microplastics and nanoplastics — tiny fragments shed from everyday plastic products — are increasingly found in our food, water, soil and even inside the human body. Their accumulation has been linked to fertility issues, metabolic disorders and other potential health risks in animal models. Yet detecting these pollutants has remained a time-consuming challenge.

Less than 13% of our plastic waste is truly recycled today, with most consumer plastics either downcycled into lower-quality products or joining the billions of tons discarded in landfills and oceans each year. But what if our plastics could be endlessly recycled, like aluminum?

As Director of NJIT’s Polymer Laboratory for the Advancement of Sustainable Technology and Innovative Chemical Synthesis (PLASTICS), Trevor Del Castillo aims to do just that.

Danna Valentina Sanchez Hernandez’s path to becoming a researcher began long before she arrived at NJIT. Growing up in Colombia, she developed an early fascination with science by attending medical conferences alongside her parents — both physicians — and learning about clinical trials and biological research. But her passion for biomedical engineering didn’t crystallize until she enrolled in dual-enrollment courses at Universidad CES.
