The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine listed N.C. State University in Raleigh and UNC-Chapel Hill in the Top 25 Undergraduate Schools for Entrepreneurship Studies.

ABB is engaged in a collaborative R&D project with NC State to develop the underlying power systems required to support rapid charging of electric vehicles. ABB’s North American Corporate Research Center is based on Centennial Campus.

North Carolina State University on Thursday honored the first black student to receive an undergraduate degree from the school.

North Carolina State University (NCSU) researchers have developed a medium-voltage fast charger (MVFC) that they say offers 60% less power loss than conventional systems, is only a tenth the size, and delivers similar charging times.

When Irwin Holmes Jr. arrived as an electrical engineering freshman at N.C. State University in the fall of 1956, living on campus was out of the question. Now, the building that houses the campus housing office will bear his name.

From internet-connected insects to opioid-detecting sewer bots, RIoT’s 4^th annual Internet of Things (IoT) Demo night didn’t disappoint, including students showcasing their school project — a web platform called Store Hound that offers point-to-point navigation for store customers.

Developed by researchers at North Carolina State University, the new solution is at least 10 times smaller than similar systems and is now being optimised to charge vehicles more quickly, while also charging multiple vehicles simultaneously.

For that reason, engineers at North Carolina State University have developed an oxygen sensor for use in organs-on-a-chip and 3D tissue scaffolds.

Two Ph.D. students in engineering and a postdoctoral plant science researcher at North Carolina State University have created a tiny array of sensors coated with polymers that can detect the unique bouquet of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, that plants emit in response to different stressors.

An electric vehicle (EV) fast charger that is at least 10 times smaller than existing systems and wastes 60 percent less power during the charging process, without sacrificing the charging time, has been developed by researchers from North Carolina State University.

Raleigh has the 22nd most affordable one-bedroom apartments among college towns, the average one-bedroom monthly rent is $1,125. NC State University students also have the 21st most affordable two-bedroom apartments, with the average rent at $1,364 per month.

The 2019 Chancellor’s Innovation Fund at North Carolina State University is awarding grants to researchers tackling everything from blood-clotting nanomaterials and canine cancer vaccines to more efficient electric vehicle chargers.

When you tweet, you can tag your location and all 335 million active Twitter users can see it, including researchers who can use it to draw conclusions — about topics you’d never tweet about.

“They want to come up with ways to very closely monitor unauthorized or illegal nuclear activity by remote sensing,” said study co-author Hamid Krim, professor at N.C. State, in a phone interview.

“What we really need are tools that provide a means to collect data in real time without affecting the system’s operation,” says Michael Daniele, a professor at NC State.

More than four years after then-President Barack Obama announced what would become the PowerAmerica Institute at North Carolina State University, the initiative is doling out a new $20 million tranche to fund innovation. Late Tuesday, the Department of Energy-funded center announced it had awarded funds to six new member projects aimed at enhancing next-generation semiconductors in the U.S. PowerAmerica also announced it had awarded funding for 20 projects, to be led by existing members, for a total of $20 million this cycle.
