Chikungunya and dengue fever are two mosquito-carried viruses that threaten almost three billion people worldwide. Both illnesses cause serious flu-like symptoms, and Dengue fever can be fatal. A Raleigh biotech start-up is using technology from NC State in its race to create a vaccine to stop the spread of the viruses.

Blueberries are nature's super fruit, packed with fiber, antioxidants and vitamins. Blueberries are also a big industry for North Carolina. Now, scientists are working to decode the blueberry genome and create the super blueberry bush, which would help the state's blueberry industry.

Coal ash is a byproduct of burning coal to generate electricity and is often stored in ponds near power plants. But when coal ash spilled out of a Duke Energy storage pond into the Dan River, it focused attention on the problem of storing coal ash. While some is currently used in concrete, NC A&T Researchers are finding a new use for coal ash as a super strong building material.
