UNC Charlotte researchers apply motion analysis to study how the body responds after injuries, surgeries, and rehab programs.
We may not think of it as much when gas is cheap, but eventually there are many economic and environmental reasons to transition away from fossil fuels. See the biofuels reactor that RTI International researchers are using to create gasoline-li
Diamond is a collection of interconnected carbon atoms whose strong chemical bonds make the brilliant, super-hard crystals we know. Watch NC State University researchers create brighter, harder, magnetic diamonds with a few quick blasts of a po
The United Nations estimates that 1.4 billion people worldwide don't have electric light. See how a Charlotte company's easy-to-use solar power system is lighting many homes and clinics in the developing world.
Viruses like influenza, Ebola and Zika can spread widely around the world through shipping, travel and other ways we humans move things from one place to another. DNA sequencing can provide a roadmap that a virus has followed to get where it is
Davidson College professors study how invasive pythons are devastating the Everglades and could come as far North as Washington, DC. See how the voracious appetites of these huge snakes could spell trouble for animals throughout the Southeast.
To our ears, the sound of being underwater is all the same muffled tone, but to East Carolina University scientists, the noise carries all sorts of information about the ocean. Watch as researchers use their acoustic wave glider named "Blackbea
This week, we investigate genetically modified crops. See how and why they're made and what different people think about them. We also dive into natural microbial options to protect our crops from pests. Finally we wrap up our three part series
This week on SciTech Now North Carolina, we're going for a new perspective. First, we double-dip on drones. See how Wake Forest University researchers are designing drones to map coal ash spills and how RTI researchers use them to track public
This week on SciTech Now, we do a bit of traveling. We visit the NC Coast where each year you can see millions of birds during their migration. See how scientists track the NC state fish, the red drum, to learn about its habitat. We check in wi
Your armpits carry millions of tiny microbial passengers. Watch scientists study the ecosystem of the armpit and learn how deodorants can affect not only your social life, but also your microbial life.
Whether it's biting your nails, chewing on a pen or watching too much TV, everyone has a habit and they are very hard to break. Watch as Duke scientists explore the lasting changes habits leave on the circuitry of our brains.
The Eastern United States' mightiest tree, the oak, is in decline, possibly due to over-harvesting or climate change. Whatever the cause, scientists are trying to find ways to reverse this decline. Watch U.S. Forest Service researchers use fire
This week we're going back in time. See the room at NC State where researchers can use virtual reality to travel into history. We investigate whether the tale of the Trojan Horse was the whole story. Decades before Roanoke, walk through a Spani

Chemicals surround us: in the air, the water, our food, our clothes and our furniture. Which ones are dangerous? How much of them is dangerous? Watch as EPA scientists in Research Triangle Park use chemical toxicology tests to answer these ques
This week, mysteries! We visit a spot in Chatham County where nothing grows. Is it the soil or something more sinister? We see how bones can tell the story of someone's life and death and we show the dark story told in the bones of a young gir
See the new device NASA is testing to chip pieces off an asteroid. The new tool for astronauts was not developed in NASA labs, but rather at High Point University right here in North Carolina. Scientists are interested in asteroids because they
This week, we dive into the toilet and how providing toilets to parts of the developing world can solve health problems. We follow medicines flushed down the toilet all the way downstream to the sea. See what happens to the river and ocean life
This week, see how the plastic bottles you recycle can wind up back in your home. A person can tell you how soft and breathable clothes are, but when you need to light them on fire, it's best to get a robot. Watch the textile trials! We chat wi
This week we lose our train of thought......with the science of daydreaming. Big energy needs a big magnet. Watch San Diego scientists design a magnet for fusion power. We chat with scientists and government officials about the possibility of o
