Stevens Institute of Technology is a private research university in Hoboken, New Jersey. Incorporated in 1870, it is one of the oldest technological universities in the United States and was the first college in America solely dedicated to mechanical engineering. The campus encompasses Castle Point, the highest point in Hoboken, and several other buildings around the city. Founded from an 1868 bequest from Edwin Augustus Stevens, enrollment at Stevens includes more than 5500 undergraduate and graduate students representing 47 states and 60 countries throughout Asia, Europe and Latin America. The university is home to two national Centers of Excellence as designated by the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Two members of the Stevens community, as alumni or faculty, have been awarded the Nobel Prize: Frederick Reines (class of 1939), in Physics, and Irving Langmuir (Chemistry faculty 1906–1909), in chemistry.

Want to Know How Light Works? Try Asking a Mechanic

“Physicists at Stevens Institute of Technology use a 350-year-old theorem that explains the workings of pendulums and planets to reveal new properties of light waves. Since the 17th century, when Isaac Newton and Christiaan Huygens first debated the nature of …

Researchers complete first real-world study of Martian helicopter dust dynamics

“Mars is a dusty planet. From tiny dust devils to vast storms that shroud the planet, dust is a constant challenge for research missions. That was especially true for Ingenuity, the rotorcraft that since February 2021 has been exploring Mars …

Stevens Researchers Create Entangled Photons 100 Times More Efficiently Than Previously Possible

“Super-fast quantum computers and communication devices could revolutionize countless aspects of our lives — but first, researchers need a fast, efficient source of the entangled pairs of photons such systems use to transmit and manipulate information. Researchers at Stevens Institute of …

Atomically Thin Magnets for Next Generation Spin and Quantum Electronics

“Stevens researchers develop a ferromagnetic semiconductor that works at room temperature, solving one of science’s most intractable problems As our smartphones, laptops, and computers get smaller and faster, so do the transistors inside them that control the flow of …

Team closes in on ‘holy grail’ of room temperature quantum computing chips

“To process information, photons must interact. However, these tiny packets of light want nothing to do with each other, each passing by without altering the other. Now, researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have coaxed photons into interacting with one …

Researchers Create First Scalable Platform for On-chip Quantum Light Sources

“Nanoscale light sources can now be created with unprecedented efficiency and precision, paving way for new developments in quantum computing and quantum cryptography. Household lightbulbs give off a chaotic torrent of energy, as trillions of miniscule light particles – called photons …
