Model Makes Designing New Antennas Orders of Magnitude Faster

Researchers have developed a model that allows antenna designers to identify efficient configurations for antenna designs in minutes, rather than days. The model is designed to expedite development of next generation “multi-input, multi-ouput” (MIMO)...

Cyborg Roaches Could Help in Disasters Too

Two years ago, NC State researchers fitted cockroaches with electrical backpacks complete with tiny microphones to detect the faintest of sounds. The goal, according to engineers, is to use the biobots with high-resolution microphones to differentiate between sounds...

Software Regulates Voltage in Everyday APUs

NC State researchers have created software that manages all voltage regulation in an embedded system solely on the applications processor unit (APU), without resorting to expensive smart switch-mode power supplies (SMPSes) with their own microcontroller or application...

Brilliant 10: Alper Bozkurt turns animals into first responders

NC State electrical engineer decided to build a cross-species communications system that defies distance. It enables humans and dogs to work together to save lives, even when separated by rubble. Alper Bozkurt, electrical & computer engineering, featured.
