NC State Epidemiologist Studying How Low Levels of Multiple Contaminants Affects Humans

CBS-17
"Usually when you are studying these diseases you usually look at say people with liver cancer and people without liver cancer and then look at what they're exposed to, then measure the contaminants. The question has always been how do you know that what you are measuring didn't happen yesterday and it has nothing to do with disease that has been developing for ten years," said Hoyo, director of the Epigenetics, Cancer and Environment Laboratory at N.C. State.

Neutron Beams Could Help Reveal the Elusive ‘Fifth Force’ of Nature, Scientists Say

ScienceAlert
"Even though silicon is ubiquitous, we are still learning about its most basic properties," says physicist Albert Young of North Carolina State University. “The neutron, because it has no charge, is excellent to use as a probe because it doesn’t interact strongly with electrons inside the material. X-rays have some drawbacks when measuring atomic forces within a material due to their interaction with electrons.”

Montreal Protocol Prevented Carbon Sink Losses: Study

Coastal Review
Disturbances can release carbon from where it is stored and make it available for conversion back to carbon dioxide. According to Dr. Christopher Osburn, North Carolina State University professor of marine, earth and atmospheric sciences, these disturbances are largely characterized by storms, sea level rise and land-use changes.
