CNBM New Energy Materials Research Center, a public US corporation and sole owner of the world’s only independently formed tellurium mine in China, recently awarded NJIT a three-year, $1.5 million grant to establish a CdTe solar energy research center. The new center will focus on improving the applications of CdTe semiconductor materials for use in thin-film solar modules.

Materials Science and Engineering
Creation of advanced particulate materials and products through the engineering of particles is a major research focus of the New Jersey Center for Engineered Particulates (NJCEP).
The research eff orts of the Opto and Microfluidics Laboratory are to establish a synergy between novel nanostructures, optics (plasmonics and photonics), biology and electro-kinetics (microfluidics and nanofluidics) and to integrate them to develop transformative and disruptive new technologies using cost-effective tools.
The Tissue Engineering and Applied Biomaterials Laboratory develops functional biomaterials for regenerative medicine applications. Recent discoveries in the tissue engineering fi eld have shown that the microenvironment can influence stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, which has had a tremendous impact on identifying potential strategies for using these cells effectively in the body.
