This week, North Carolina State University’s renewable energy research lab is celebrating the many inventions, publications and programs it has spearheaded since its start 10 years ago.
If clothing were packed with thermoelectric generators, body heat could be turned into electricity. Researchers at North Carolina State University in Raleigh work with a button-sized generator containing a grid of semiconductor rods sandwiched between two ceramic...
Raleigh ranks No. 1 for housing, quality of life in new Amazon HQ2 site study by research company ATTOM Data Solutions.
Christina Hammock Koch and Andrew Morgan, both selected as astronauts in 2013, are scheduled for spaceflights next year. Koch, who grew up in Jacksonville, North Carolina, earned bachelor’s degrees in electrical engineering and physics, and a master’s degree in...
A new tie-in with IBM is helping N.C. State University get in on the ground floor of quantum computing by allowing professors and students access to a network of the new machines that IBM has set up at its research lab in New York.
“Meaning that the light source has to be directed into the grating within an arc of 20 degrees,” said Michael Escuti, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University (NC State) and corresponding author of a paper on the...
North Carolina State University will be the first in North America to establish a university-based IBM Quantum Computing hub as part of the global IBM Q Network. The hub is expected to be operational on Raleigh’s Centennial Campus by October.
Laura Bottomley, a teaching associate professor at NC State University in ECE, believes engineering is “a vehicle for the solution of every problem.”
Computer engineering researchers at North Carolina State University have developed new software and hardware designs that should limit programming errors and improve system performance in devices that use non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies.
Researchers from North Carolina State University are rolling out a new manufacturing process and chip design for silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, which can be used to more efficiently regulate power in technologies that use electronics.
The “dropark” app aims to change all that with a smartphone and a sensor placed in a parking space that detects your automobile. Mahdi Inaya, an NC State ECE alumnus is founder of dropark. He works with a group of engineers who got their start in the NCSU’s Product...
Raleigh has climbed higher up a list of the nation’s top cities for creating and keeping quality jobs, and N.C. State University is given significant credit for the city’s economic success. The Raleigh Metropolitan Statistical Area ranked 2nd on the list of...
Several academia also shared their research progress under the auspice of Center for Advanced Electronics Through Machine Learning (CAEML) since its formation in 2016. Prof. Paul Franzon discussed how ML could shorten IC physical design step through the use of...
“We find passionate, dedicated NC State students who are proficient in a particular instrument or instruments,” said Shane Reagan, senior co-president of the NC State chapter of Musical Empowerment and a fourth-year studying electrical and computer engineering. “We’ve...
There has been a lot of talk recently about “smart grids,” systems that would be able to react nearly instantaneously to fluctuations in demand and smooth the influx of energy from various sources, especially renewables like solar and wind power. Researchers at North...
To perpetuate the pace of innovation and progress in microelectronics technology over the past half-century, it will take an enormous village rife with innovators. This week, about 100 of those innovators, including NC State ECE, gathered at DARPA headquarters at the...
Technologists have devised a computer model to show how smart solid-state transformerscan form a stable, reliable ‘smart grid’ for the supply of electricity to businesses and homes. The newly created smart solid-state transformers are designed to make a...
Now, researchers from North Carolina State University (NCSU) have developed a system that can combine the two, wirelessly transmitting both data and power simultaneously from a distance.
Magnetic fields are being used to transmit power through the air, North Carolina State University researchers say in a press release.
North Carolina State University (NCSU) professor Jay Baliga argues that proprietary SiC processes have kept prices high and erected barriers to entry.
