Shraddha Rathod, now a senior, really likes the university’s “think-and-do” mentality. “We don’t just talk about it, we actually do things and make things,” says Rathod, an electrical and computer engineering major from Charlotte.
In a proof-of-concept study, North Carolina State University engineers have designed a flexible thermoelectric energy harvester that has the potential to rival the effectiveness of existing power wearable electronic devices using body heat as the only source of...
Thermoelectric generators pick up on the temperature difference and then use that to create energy, says Daryoosh Vashaee, an electrical engineer at North Carolina State University.
It might not fit electronic design automation at all, said Paul Franzon, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University.
In 2010, researchers at the National Science Foundation’s FREEDM Systems Center at North Carolina State University unveiled the first SST, which not only performed all of the functions of a traditional transformer, but could also redirect power as needed to...
Researchers from North Carolina State University believe this breakthrough could allow the power distribution system to route renewable energy from homes and businesses into the power grid.
It would be hard to overstate the importance of transformers in our electrical networks. They’re literally everywhere: on poles and pads, in substations and on private property, on the ground and under it. There are probably dozens in your neighborhood alone....
North Carolina State University is 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.
Researchers from North Carolina State University are rolling out a new manufacturing process and chip design for SiC power devices. The process – called PRESiCE – was developed with support from the PowerAmerica Institute funded by the US Department of...
Imagine a colorful car whizzing over a custom track in the Research Triangle Park skyline. The futuristic cab would consume less power than a Tesla and further brand the Triangle as a place where innovation happens, proponents predict. A group of researchers at N.C....
A team of researchers from Vanderbilt, Washington State and North Carolina State universities are charged with reinventing and protecting America’s power grid, and they’re taking their first solutions on a demonstration tour.
Electrical engineer Daniel Stancil says the idea of using existing FM signals “is an exciting one.” Stancil is an expert on antennas and communication at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
The Draper-HHMI team is not the first to develop cyborg insects. Scientists at North Carolina State University in Raleigh have developed an electronic backpack for Madagascar hissing cockroaches. In that case, the backpack includes electrodes attached to the bug?s...
UNC Asheville is the only institution in the University of North Carolina System that offers Mechatronics Engineering, offered in collaboration with NC State which combines the disciplines of engineering and computer science with design, art and sculpture.
We wanted to design a flexible thermoelectric harvester that does not compromise on the material quality of rigid devices yet provides similar or better efficiency, said Mehmet Ozturk, a professor at North Carolina State University in the US. Using rigid devices is...
Wearable electronic devices are starting to save some battery power by harvesting an energy source that’s right underneath them: human body heat. But while flexible devices are more comfortable to wear, they aren’t quite as effective at soaking up that...
In a proof-of-concept study, North Carolina State University engineers have designed a flexible thermoelectric energy harvester that has the potential to rival the effectiveness of existing power wearable electronic devices using body heat as the only source of...
