Researchers develop algorithm to detect cyber attacks

NC State researchers have developed a software algorithm to detect and isolate cyber-attacks on networked control systems that play an important role in coordinating transportation, power and other infrastructure across the United States. Mo-Yuen Chow and Wente Zeng,...

New Algorithm Lets SCADA Devices Detect, Deflect Attacks

NC State researchers have built a prototype that lets SCADA devices police one another in order to catch and cut off a fellow power plant or factory floor device that has been compromised. Mo-Yuen Chow and Wente Zeng, electrical and computer engineering,...

New software keeps X-ray exposure down

Researchers from North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC, USA) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC; Chapel Hill, NC, USA) have developed an algorithm to help surgeons use X-rays to track devices used in minimally invasive surgical procedures...

New tool could improve minimally invasive surgical procedures

Surgeons could one day perform image-guided procedures by simply following the same principles of a GPS device. According to a new report, researchers are making progress on developing a new tool to help doctors use X-rays, in the most efficient way possible, to track...

New Kind of Ultraviolet Lasers and LEDs are Coming

A primary reason why CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray disks contain different amounts of data is that they use different frequencies of light to encode the information. Higher frequency light has shorter wavelengths, which means less space is required for a single bit, such as...

Hissing cockroach cyborgs: All in a day’s work for Alper Bozkurt

Dr. Alper Bozkurt is so earnest, eager to share, and gentle in his manner that one wouldn?t necessarily peg him as the star of an international media frenzy. But CNN, El Mundo, Reuters, the Los Angeles Times and others have all sought out the N.C. State assistant...

N.C. State: Entrepreneurs, we want you

Researchers at North Carolina State University are looking for companies of all sizes to partner with in their nanotechnology efforts.__Veena Misra, the director of the Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and...

Leading postgraduate programs for Asian students

According to the Wall Street Journal, graduates of NC State?s College of Engineering are among the most attractive job applicants in the US. Likewise, Asian students who earn postgraduate engineering credentials here are poised to take on high-power positions all over...
