Researchers look into just how important diet & exercise are to our health. Scientists are developing miniature organs to help drug therapies work better & faster. And a new type of medical implant is being created - one that dissolves away when its work in the body is done.

Wake Forest University scientists pioneer using drone aircraft for ecological monitoring. They're flying drones over the Amazon rainforest to study the tree canopy and the amount of carbon dioxide the forest releases.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have been able to grow living skeletal muscles in the lab that look and act like the real thing. It's a first step in growing human muscle that can treat injuries and disease

Research using the predator beetle offers new hope in the battle to save the state's hemlock trees from the invasion of woolly adelgid, an invasive species that is devastatingly wiping out the hemlock tree population across the South, which matters because the hemlock is important for having a healthy forest.

An Asheville musician/inventor/entrepreneur develops a device transforming how the acoustic guitar physically makes sounds. Called an acoustic synthesizer, it alters how the strings vibrate, adding nearly 100 new sounds to the instrument.

After an extreme winter of weather, it has been a challenging growing season for strawberry farmers. Learn how science is helping farmers grow their crops despite unusual winter weather.

Climatologists at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville analyze weather data to explain the unusual winter of 2013-2014 and to forecast how a warming planet will affect climate in the future.

Researchers at North Carolina A&T are developing new materials that could revolutionize medical treatment. Right now, every metal that goes into the body goes in with the notion it will stay there forever, but NC A&T is developing smart implants, that would be absorbed by the body once their work is finished.
