Why young STEM researchers are calling for paid family leave
A group of young researchers is stepping outside their disciplines to address the gender gap in STEM jobs.
Researchers eye a system that uses marine microplastics to get rid of marine microplastics
Researchers are working to develop a self-sustaining system that uses microplastics to capture more microplastics.
NC State celebrates outstanding faculty
The Celebration of Faculty Excellence is held each spring to recognize outstanding faculty who have received prestigious awards, accolades or other distinctions during the previous year. In 2020, NC State honored 25 faculty virtually since the annual event could not be held in person.
Research sheds light on earliest stages of Angelman syndrome
New research from NC State provides insights into the earliest stages of Angelman syndrome. The work also demonstrates how human cerebral organoids can be used to shed light on genetic disorders that affect human development.
Envisioning Research Contest winners show artistic exploration
The winners of the 2020 Envisioning Research Contest brought a new light to their discoveries at NC State.
A simple wearable microfluidic patch allows long-term sweat biomarker monitoring
Professors Orlin Velev and Michael Dickey, alum Dr. Timothy Shay (Ph.D. ’17) and Ph.D. candidate Tamoghna Saha, have developed a paper-based device that serves as a model of wearables that can collect, transport and analyze sweat in next-generation wearables technology.
