In daily battles with pathogens, legacy chemicals from long disappeared factories and a growing array of micropollutants, water treatment systems are often handicapped by clogged membrane filters. Replacing them regularly is both laborious and expensive.

New Jersey Institute of Technology is now ranked No. 9 in the country for its department of electrical and computer engineering, according to a U.S. News & World Report study of 2,165 universities worldwide.
 

A research paper on metal carbides and nitrides is paying dividends for NJIT’s Meng-Qiang Zhao — eight years after it was published.

For the fourth straight year, Zhao, an assistant professor of chemical and materials engineering at NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering, has made Clarivate’s list of Highly Cited Researchers. Why? Chiefly because peers continue to cite the paper, which introduced a faster and safer way to synthesize MXenes, a family of novel 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides, according to Zhao.

New Jersey Institute of Technology is the top public university in the Northeast for undergraduate entrepreneurship studies, according to The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine.

Three student veterans at NJIT were among the first to be awarded a new scholarship administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, named for the long-serving Massachusetts congresswoman and steadfast advocate for veterans, provides up to nine months of additional post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, up to $30,000. Recipients must be enrolled in a STEM degree program or seeking a teaching certificate.

NJIT researchers have received a $620,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to advance our understanding of the way in which soot particles from combustion of fossil fuels are driving climate change in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Associate Professor of Chemistry Alexei Khalizov and Associate Professor of Chemical and Materials Engineering Gennady Gor will lead the project, “A Multiscale Model for Restructuring of Atmospheric Soot Particles”.

New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers, Princeton and Stevens Institute of Technology joined to present respective research projects and explore potential areas of collaboration related to climate change, planetary and human health that would benefit the population of New Jersey and beyond.

NJIT’s fall Career Fair — its first in-person fair since the onset of the pandemic — set dual records for attendance, with more than 2,500 students and 233 companies participating.

Roberto Saenz, winner of the first-ever Hispanic and Latinx Leadership Council (HLLC) scholarship, wants to one day be an administrator at NASA and design his own spacecraft.

Bloomberg Businessweek hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec took their show on the road and across the river to NJIT’s campus for a live panel show on sustainability.

The Green Energy and Climate Adaptation Panel featured Jonathan Menard, chief research officer at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab; Dena Prastos, founder of Indigo River, an environmental consulting firm; and Dr. Som Mitra, distinguished professor of chemistry and environmental science at NJIT.
