Accelerating discovery

There are vast numbers of undiscovered molecules and materials that offer solutions to the challenges in health care, the environment, energy and other areas facing our world. Using artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and lab automation, self-driving labs (SDLs) are teaming up with human scientists to accelerate the rate at which we can solve these challenges.

State budget allocates $3 million for nuclear reactor feasibility study

NC State University established the first civilian nuclear research reactor on a university campus in 1952 and still operates a 1-megawatt PULSTAR reactor on North Campus in Burlington Labs. Now, thanks to a $3 million investment from the legislature, the Department of Nuclear Engineering and the University can begin thinking about what comes next.

AquaPack Robotics refreshes its design cycle

Until recently, AquaPack Robotics would build an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named SeaWolf, repair and use it until it was ready to retire, and then scrap the old robot for parts to build a new one.
