Engineers keep deriving new applications from research into what happens when solid objects interact with fluids such as gasses and liquids — it’s useful knowledge for aerospace, energy and healthcare — but new applications in turn require more research, in an endless cycle that may soon skip a few loops because of an NJIT professor’s improvements to the hottest software in his field.
Tara Alvarez, a distinguished professor of biomedical engineering at NJIT, won first place in the inaugural Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) / National Academy of Inventors (NAI) International Patent Award competition.
Her patented technology, branded as VERVE (Virtual Eye Rotation Vision Exercises), is a virtual reality game to correct an eye motor disorder called convergence insufficiency, in which the muscles that control eye movements do not coordinate to focus on near objects, to see them singly and clearly.
What are the odds Facebook users read the news articles they end up sharing with the rest of the world?
Only one in four, according to a recent study of our news sharing behavior spanning almost a full U.S. election cycle, which was published in Nature Human Behaviour.
A new 360-degree perspective on wound care has already attracted attention from the health care industry, and Assistant Professor Salam Daher and Dahlia Musa Ph.D. ’25 from NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing have a goal to further develop a 3D graphics simulation tool to patent it for commercial use.
The American Astronomical Society (AAS) has named Dale Gary, distinguished professor of physics at NJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR), one of 24 new AAS Fellows for 2025.
The Society annually honors the most distinguished members from its global community of over 8,000 astronomers, recognizing extraordinary achievements and service in the astronomical sciences.
In modern software, the train of security vulnerabilities is headed full-steam at the artificial intelligence track, while experts from NJIT, Rutgers University and Temple University are developing new educational materials intended to prevent a collision.
NJIT hosted its inaugural Nexus of Excellence Awards celebration, a new tradition that unites several long-standing ceremonies into a singular event highlighting exceptional contributions to the university community. Held at the Jim Wise Theater, the event celebrated achievements in research, instruction and service to the university.
Over 100 Albert Dorman Honors College (ADHC) scholars showcased their semester's research at the Honors Interdisciplinary Research Forum, featuring work from three foundational courses: Introduction to Research Writing, Introduction to Research Methods and — new for this semester — Introduction to Entrepreneurship.
Bharat Biswal, a pioneer in the field of neural imaging who developed a technique that sheds new light on brain-related diseases and injuries, is this year’s winner of NJIT’s Excellence in Research award.
In the early 1990s, as scientists began mapping the brain with functional MRI (fMRI), Biswal proposed a radical new approach to imaging: observing all of the regional networks at once while the patient sat still for several minutes.
New Jersey has been abuzz with reports of unidentified drones flying in its skies, sparking public curiosity and raising questions about their origin and purpose. Amid the growing concern, Associate Professor Pramod Abichandani, director of the Robotics and Data Lab (RADLab) and the Advanced Air Mobility (AAMLab) at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), has emerged as a voice in the conversation.
