A U.S. astronaut who is a North Carolina State University graduate has set a record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman. NASA officials say Christina Koch, who grew up in Jacksonville, North Carolina, on Saturday broke the 288-day record set by former space...
A grant to North Carolina State University and several partners could make installing rooftop solar energy systems much less expensive and time consuming. Researchers will use the five-year, $9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to design solar...
In a panel discussion at AUTM’s 2019 Eastern Region Meeting, Laura Schoppe from Fuentek, Daniel Stancil from North Carolina State University and Justin Streuli from University of North Carolina at Greensboro made a compelling case as to why academic committees should...
Berra Kara, a junior computer engineering and applied mathematics major at North Carolina State University, said her team took NVIDIA’s courses on CUDA to learn how to use the software for their cluster. The team, “WolfPack HPC,” said GPUs help provide a performance...
“(Community college) students should be encouraged (to apply). They don’t know what they can get into unless they try,” said Ben Falero, who began at Carolina Community College in Sanford before he was accepted in the C3 program. Falero, who is...
In the rolling hills of North Carolina, two renowned universities, Wake Forest University and North Carolina State University (NC State), engage in a friendly academic rivalry. This relationship is about to get tested as both universities have been selected to...
To meet the growing need for guide dogs the NC State, Guiding Eyes for the Blind and IBM have teamed up to find the best candidates through the use of artificial intelligence. “Our aim is to get as much quantified and objective information as possible,” says Alper...
In their work at North Carolina State University, Barkha Gupta and Rhett Davis showed that for a single silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process, which typically exhibit low leakage levels, the ratio of off-currents through an inverter versus a more complex NAND4 transistor...
A collaboration between NC State, IBM, and Guiding Eyes for the Blind, a nonprofit organization, is aimed at improving guide dog training. Dogs-in-training are outfitted with “smart collars” and “smart vests,” which upload data – ranging...
N.C. State University and several partners have landed a $24 million federal grant to create the first wireless platform to link drones and emerging next-generation technology known as 5G. The National Science Foundation (NSF) and U.S. ignite, an organization seeking...
NC State University is partnering with the National Science Foundation to study the interaction of drones with 5G wireless technology. The center could attract private companies and researchers to Raleigh.
Breakthrough technology from an engineering research center—the NSF FREEDM Systems Center at NC State—could help prevent blackouts while allowing the grid to run on clean energy.
The NC State University graduate always has been adventurous, pushing herself to channel her fears into sharp focus to accomplish her goals. And her historic path from growing up in Eastern North Carolina to outer space has been unconventional — with a few stops in...
A lot of North Carolina students are feeling inspired to take their dreams to new heights, and some are even thinking about reaching for the stars.It’s not every day you get to Skype with someone from outer space, but that’s exactly what more than one thousand...
More than a thousand students from all over North Carolina as well as NC State spent the morning taking part in an out of this world conversation. Astronaut and NC State graduate Christina Koch, who is currently floating hundreds of miles above the Earth, spoke to the...
With the development of automation and robotics, the modernizing world has reached unprecedented levels of productivity. While this is best seen in industries like manufacturing, others, like construction, have struggled to see the same dramatic improvement. A team of...
One of the most influential gatherings of professionals in the world, two universities, three cities, four days of learning and exploring and numerous inspirational individuals, including Dr. Greg Byrd from NC State.
“Most kids probably dream of becoming an astronaut. I was just the one that never grew out of it,” said Koch in an interview Monday with The News & Observer from the space station. Koch, a graduate of N.C. State University, left for space March 14 and has been in...
Engineers may worry that artificial-intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) algorithms will eventually replace them as circuit designers. A panel session, including Paul Franzon at the 2019 IEEE International Microwave Symposium tackled that touchy subject. The...
N.C. State University has created a method for artificial intelligence (AI) systems to learn more without forgetting – a crucial step in making adaptive AI systems that can learn much like humans.
