In a new study, researchers from North Carolina State University, UNC-Chapel Hill and other institutions have taken the first steps toward creating a roadmap that may help scientists narrow down the genetic cause of numerous diseases. Their work also sheds new light on how heredity and environment can affect gene expression.

New research from North Carolina State University and UNC-Chapel Hill reveals that energy is transferred more efficiently inside of complex, three-dimensional organic solar cells when the donor molecules align face-on, rather than edge-on, relative to the acceptor. This finding may aid in the design and manufacture of more efficient and economically viable organic solar cell technology.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that uses existing technology to allow researchers and natural resource managers to collect significantly more information on water quality to better inform policy decisions.

A new Center for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics, supported by the National Science Foundation and co-located at Penn State University and North Carolina State University, will build on and expand the research capabilities of Penn State's long-running Center for Dielectrics Studies.

Recently, there seems to be more and more cases of scientists faking research

When capturing images at the atomic scale, even tiny movements of the sample can result in skewed or distorted images – and those movements are virtually impossible to prevent. Now microscopy researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that accounts for that movement and eliminates the distortion from the finished product.

Colleagues claimed scientists could create renewable energy source, superconductors that transmitted electricity at room temperature. Stefan Franzen went public with the story after exhausting avenues available at NCSU and in the scientific community.
