Futuristic transportation project seeks RTP company for test programApril 14, 2017 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. State University want to make it a reality and they’re looking for a partner with the footprint and wallet to back the idea. |

How Cyborg Insects Could Save Lives and Stop Our EnemiesMarch 7, 2017 At North Carolina State University, engineer Alper Bozkurt and his team steer roaches (specifically Madagascar hissing cockroaches, which is another large, slow species) by spoofing their senses. With this approach, manually controlling the biobot roaches isn’t entirely necessary for search-and-rescue operations, Bozkurt says. |
