You can’t see it happening. But what goes on below ground in a forest is very important in determining its fate.

In a new study, scientists conclude that the sideways flow of water through soil can have an important impact on how riparian forests respond to climate change. Models used to predict the future plight of forests typically don’t account for this factor — but they should, researchers say.

They’ve famously survived the vacuum of space, and even returned to life after being frozen for decades in Antarctic moss. But as hard as it is to kill the bizarre microscopic animal, the tardigrade, it’s harder to find one fossilized. In fact, only two have ever been discovered and formally named — until now.

Members of NJIT's new Center for Artificial Intelligence Research will look to expand knowledge of the theory, data and applications of their field, which director Grace Wang said is quickly evolving from experimental to practical status.

This summer, the 2021 Virtual New Jersey Chemistry Olympics (vNJCO) once again became the grounds for a fierce two weeks of competition between young chemists from high schools around the state. By the end, more than 130 attendees joined the competition’s award ceremony live — tuning in from England to California to hear long-time NJCO supporter and CSLA Dean Kevin Belfield give his customary welcome address and celebrate Olympic teams that participated in events following NJCO’s 2021 theme, “Chemistry and Current Events”. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology ranked No. 1 in New Jersey and 14th nationally among public schools for early-career salaries, with young alumni bringing home just under $125,000 on average against just $7,600 in average debt, according to Forbes 2021 Top Colleges ranking.

Statewide, only private schools with higher tuition ranked above NJIT for early career salaries. In overall rankings, NJIT is No. 89 among public colleges nationwide, Forbes stated.

It wasn’t more than a few months after she graduated with a biology degree in May of 2016 that NJIT alumna Pamela Carman swapped the university’s labs and lecture halls for a classroom all her own, just minutes from campus at Newark’s East Side High School. 

Since then, Carman has become the driving force behind an up-and-coming curriculum that is training the city’s high school seniors in the latest investigative techniques used by professional forensic scientists.

Already, she’s earned award-winning success along the way.

From NJIT to Apple to Google and back, senior computer science and mathematics major Ricky Palaguachi always expands his peer network around those who share Hispanic heritage.

Facebook, Merck, Brown University, the University of Minnesota, Venture for America and the U.S. Air Force are among the destinations of standouts from the Class of 2021 at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Here’s a closer look at seven graduates.

Amid the many new lab facilities that have recently risen across NJIT’s campus, Associate Professor of Philosophy Britt Holbrook is laying the groundwork for an initiative he contends will be just as vital in driving impactful research and innovation at the university and beyond for years to come — a center for ethics.
