North Carolina Public Radio WUNC — North Carolina Public Radio WUNC

I heard a story this morning about a new dye that NC State has developed to make capturing solar energy more efficient, or something along those lines. So I came here to the WUNC website in pursuit of learning more. There is zero on the home page and a search of "solar" reveals nothing. Either WUNC "news" people are asleep at the switch or WUNC listeners are just profoundly not curious for more.

I wonder if WUNC realized, in reporting this yesterday, that it is in New Mexico? It seemed odd, other than the NC base of Lowes, to be repeating it so often. Lots of NC-based businesses do things in other states and that seldome gets mentioned.
