NJIT Undergrads Explore Space Weather During 2024 Total Eclipse
Monday, April 29, 2024
While thousands traveled westward and northward from New Jersey through bumper-to-bumper traffic to reach the totality of the solar eclipse on April 8, NJIT undergraduate physics students Anneliese Schmidt ’24 and Joseph Visone ’25 were finally able to relax. For them, the race to the eclipse was over, having finally finished deploying instrumentation in upstate New York to explore the question — How does the eclipse change the space environment near Earth? The space environment near Earth is commonly altered by processes from “above,” such as solar flares and geomagnetic storms, as well...
NJIT Aims to Be an Innovation Nexus Under Its New Strategic Plan
Monday, April 8, 2024
New Jersey Institute of Technology aims to be a nexus of innovation that embraces new tech, commercializes groundbreaking research, leverages its diversity and tackles global environmental and socioeconomic challenges under a new strategic plan that extends through 2030. The plan, NJIT Makes An Innovation Nexus, identifies six priorities, spells out the university’s mission to be a leader in research, innovation and entrepreneurship, and reaffirms its core values, including collaboration, social responsibility, diversity and sustainability. The priorities define student and faculty...
NJIT Scientists Uncover Aurora-Like Radio Emission Above a Sunspot
Monday, November 13, 2023
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. Researchers say the novel radio emission shares characteristics with the auroral radio emissions commonly seen in planetary magnetospheres such as those around Earth, Jupiter and Saturn, as well as certain low-mass stars. The discovery offers new insights into the origin of...
Researchers Capture First Images of a Radio 'Ring of Fire' Solar Eclipse
Friday, October 20, 2023
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. However, the new observations of the radio Sun’s eclipse — much longer in duration than...
NJIT Rises to No. 86 Among National Universities in U.S. News Rankings
Monday, September 18, 2023
New Jersey Institute of Technology’s rise in national rankings continues, with U.S. News & World Report placing NJIT No. 86 among national universities for 2024 — a jump of 11 rungs from 2023. The latest ranking is indicative of a consistent trend over the past four years — as NJIT climbed from 118 to 103 to 97 and now 86 — and supports the findings of other publications that rate U.S. universities, including Money and The Wall Street Journal, which placed NJIT as the second-highest ranked public institution nationally. In key areas like student social mobility and...
Army Supports Summer Interns, Designing New Robots at NJIT Research Center
Thursday, August 31, 2023
A little-known R&D facility, operated by NJIT’s New Jersey Innovation Institute with the U.S. Army Picatinny Arsenal for its primary client, is beginning to thrive one year after moving off-campus. The facility is called COMET — Collaborative Operationalized Manufacturing Engineering and Training — located about 30 miles northwest of NJIT’s Newark campus, close to Picatinny, which is the Army headquarters for conventional weapons development. COMET hosts students and faculty throughout the year, not just from NJIT but from various institutions, who all share civic and scientific...
NJIT Showcases the Most Impactful Research and Innovation from Students
Monday, August 21, 2023
Stuti Mohan, a senior biomedical engineering student, was the winner of the top Dr. James F. Stevenson Innovation Award at the 2023 Undergraduate Summer Research and Innovation (URI) Symposium at NJIT. Her project sought to identify a non-invasive yet precise method to diagnose the tapping foot of a subject. Mohan’s research area in the Sensorimotor Quantification and Rehabilitation Lab (SQRL) is the ongoing pursuit of improving concussion management. “Concussion management can be a pretty subjective process. We are leveraging objective approaches like sensorimotor quantification...
Tracking a Deadly Rise, Historic Fall of Insect Populations
Monday, August 21, 2023
An estimated 10 quintillion insects are alive on the planet, a staggering number that is at the center of a data crisis for entomologists. Researchers are struggling to understand historic shifts taking place among insect populations amid climate change and other environmental threats, from deforestation to pesticide use. Nearly 40% of all insect species are declining globally while a third of them are now considered endangered. And yet, some deadly populations are on the rise. Associate Professor of Physics Benjamin Thomas is developing new laser-based instruments to better study...
Sun's Coldest Region Stores Secret to Heating Million-Degree Corona, Study Finds
Monday, June 12, 2023
With data from Big Bear Solar Observatory’s Goode Solar Telescope, researchers discover intense wave energy in the coldest region on the Sun, the sunspot umbra, which is driving puzzling temperatures in the star’s upper atmosphere. Nearly five thousand kilometers above the Sun’s surface lies a century-old question for solar physicists — how are temperatures in the star’s upper atmosphere, or corona, hundreds of times hotter than temperatures at the Sun’s visible surface? An international team of scientists has a new answer to the question — commonly referred to as the Sun’...
PSE&G President Tells NJIT Class of 2023 to 'Move Forward with Purpose'
Friday, May 19, 2023
The head of New Jersey’s largest utility urged the Class of 2023 at New Jersey Institute of Technology to embrace change and remain positive in the face of challenges ranging from climate change and social inequity to artificial intelligence. “Finding solutions will require new faces and perspectives and for us to reject the status quo,” said Kim Hanemann, president and chief operating officer of PSE&G. “I encourage you to stay hopeful and press on even when things seem scary. What the world needs now is creative thinking and for the next generation of leaders — for all of you — to...
