By now, many people are familiar with the vision of a “smart” electrical grid and its promised improvements to our outdated national power infrastructure. Intelligently transporting, storing and managing the electricity produced by everything from nuclear...
North Carolina State University’s Entrepreneurs Garage, located on Centennial Campus, is a business startup incubator – a place where any student can brainstorm, collaborate and come up with new products and inventions.
They call it Seawolf V. On land, it looks like little more than a suitcase with wings. But put this vessel in the water, and the display of engineering wizardry would make James Cameron proud. Seawolf V can perform dives, barrel rolls and spins ? all with the press of...
North Carolina State University is leading a nanotechnology research effort to create self-powered health monitoring sensors and devices to help people monitor their health and understand how the surrounding environment affects it.
Penn State, North Carolina State University, the University of Virginia and Florida International University will collaborate on a national nanotechnology research effort to create self-powered devices to help people monitor their health and understand how the...
North Carolina State University will lead a national nanotechnology research effort to create self-powered devices to help people monitor their health and understand how the surrounding environment affects it, the National Science Foundation announced today.
Neutrinos are extremely tiny particles with almost zero mass and neutral charge. Thus they are impervious to electromagnetic forces and respond very weakly to gravity. They almost never collide with other particles, generally passing straight through the atoms that...
Electric vehicles could soon be charged wirelessly, thanks to a new way of fine-tuning wireless power transfer (WPT) receivers that makes them more efficient and functional.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new way to fine-tune wireless power transfer (WPT) receivers, making the systems more efficient and functional. WPT systems hold promise for charging electric vehicles, electronic devices, and other...

A new method of fine-tuning wireless power transfer (WPT) receivers has been developed at North Carolina State University (NCSU).
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new way to fine-tune wireless power transfer (WPT) receivers, making the systems more efficient and functional. Wireless charging is hot design trend for mobile phone and other such wireless device...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) allow people in multiple, rapidly-moving vehicles to communicate with each other — such as in military or emergency-response situations. Researchers from North Carolina State University have devised a method to improve the quality...
A wireless message has been sent using a beam of neutrinos, nearly massless particles that travel at near the speed of light, U.S. researchers say. The message — sent by a group of scientists led by researchers from the University of Rochester and North Carolina...
Using neutrinos, it would be possible to communicate between any two points on Earth without using satellites or cables, said Dan Stancil, professor of electrical and computer engineering at NC State and lead author of a paper describing the research.
Researchers have long been intrigued by the communication possibilities of neutrinos, because these particles can easily travel through matter, including a planet, without stopping, slowing down or being misdirected.
In a major step for truly wireless communications, scientists have figured out how to send a message with neutrinos, transmitting a single word through 780 feet of bedrock and translating it at the other end.
Dr. Alper Bozkurt’s research was recently recognized in one of the most circulated newspapers of the Netherlands. Bozkurt’s team is developing microscale sensors, actuators and methodologies to unlock the mysteries of biological systems. The aim is to...
For the last year, Zhou and doctoral student Yi Yang have been working on collaborating the central processing unit and graphical processing unit in computer systems and models. Zhou’s research takes what experts at Intel and Advanced Micro Devises have...
North Carolina State University’s (NCSU) Centennial Campus has implemented one of the country’s first large-scale, outdoor, experimental wireless networks using open source software. The project is called CentMesh, which stands for Centennial Outdoor...
