Researchers Fool Autonomous Vehicles to Pinpoint Security Risks
DURHAM, N.C., March 30, 2022 — Tests showed that an attack strategy demonstrated by Duke University researchers fooled industry-standard autonomous vehicle sensors into believing nearby objects are closer and/or farther than they appear, without being detected. The work suggests that adding optical 3D capabilities, or the ability to share data with nearby cars, may be necessary to fully protect autonomous vehicles from attacks. A commonly deployed strategy to defend against attacks is to check data from separate
Dual-Axis OCT Gets Under Skin
DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 14, 2021 — Optical coherence tomography (OCT), long considered the gold standard for imaging and diagnosing diseases of the eye, could be used to identify and evaluate conditions deep beneath the skin. A team led by Duke University’s Adam Wax has...
Harvard, MIT, Duke, US Army Team Up on Terahertz Technology
BOSTON, Dec. 2, 2019 — Researchers have created a new terahertz radiation emitter with coveted frequency adjustment capability. The compact source could enable the development of futuristic communications, security, biomedical, and astronomical imaging systems. The...
Handheld System Enables Effective Imaging of Children’s Retinas
DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 5, 2016 — A handheld device capable of capturing images of a retina with cellular resolution allows researchers to gather detailed structural information about the eyes of infants and toddlers for the first time.
Fluorescent Probe IDs Cancerous Tissue in Clinical Trial
DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 7, 2016 — An imaging probe that fluoresces in the presence of a cancer-related enzyme has been used safely in humans. Beyond increasing a surgeon's ability to locate and remove all of a tumor on the first attempt, the technology could also be help detect...
Plasmonic Absorbers Capture Specific Wavelengths
DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 11, 2015 — An experimental fabrication technique has created perfect absorbers for small bands of the electromagnetic spectrum from visible light through the near-infrared. The technique could allow advanced thermal imaging systems to be produced more quickly...
Modified Genes Triggered by Blue Light
DURHAM, N.C., March 2, 2015 — Crossing a bacterium’s viral defense system with a flower’s response to the sun yields a light-based trigger for genes. This type of control could enable deeper study of specific genes’ functions, create complex systems for growing...
Biosensor Images Tumors
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Aug. 12, 2009 — A new oxygen nanosensor created by coupling a light-emitting dye with a biopolymer simplifies the imaging of oxygen-deficient regions of tumors, said chemists at the University of Virginia who developed the material. Such tumors are associated with...
New Cloak vs. Cloak Classic
DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 15, 2009 – A new type of device that can render an object invisible in visual light has been revealed by the same research team that constructed the first prototype in 2006. The new device is significantly more sophisticated at cloaking in a broad range of...
Nano Safety Center Formed
DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 18, 2008 -- A new government-funded Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (CEINT) is being formed at Duke University to explore the potential ecological hazards of nanoparticles. The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Environmental...
Photons, Phonons Swap Data
DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 14, 2007 -- The discovery of a way to transfer encoded information from a laser beam to sound waves and then back to light waves again is being seen as a step toward designing tomorrow's superfast optical communications networks. Swapping data between media...
Robert Clark Named Interim Dean of Duke's Engineering School
Jul 19, 2007 — Duke University in Durham, N.C., announced yesterday that Robert L. Clark, chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Thomas Lord Professor of Mechanical Engineering, will become dean of the Pratt School of...
Laser Light Promising for Diagnosing Skin Cancer
DURHAM, N.C., June 6, 2007 -- In an early step toward nonsurgical screening for malignant skin cancers, a laser-based system has been demonstrated that can capture 3-D images of the chemical and structural changes happening beneath the surface of human skin. "The standard...
Cloak of Partial Invisibility Created
DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 20, 2006 -- A team of US and British scientists has demonstrated the first working "invisibility cloak," a device that deflects microwave beams so they flow around a "hidden" object inside with little distortion, making it appear almost as if nothing were there...
Bistable Nanoswitch Developed
EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 16, 2006 -- A novel carbon nanotube-based nanoelectromechanical switch has been demonstrated that could prove useful in making more technologically advanced memory chips and electronic sensing devices. Carbon nanotubes have been under intense study by...
Laser Provides New Insight into Human Brain
DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 26, 2006 -- In a finding that may offer clues about Parkinson's disease, a team of researchers used a sophisticated laser system and a photoelectron emission microscope to gain evidence that a dark brown pigment that accumulates in people's brains consists of...
Lumera, Duke to Develop Photonic Devices
Mar 29, 2006 — BOTHELL, Wash., March 29, 2006 -- Lumera Corp., a developer of polymer materials and products through nanotechnology, announced it will be working with Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering to develop photonic integrated devices after...
ORNL Photonics Pioneer Takes Job at Duke
Mar 20, 2006 — DURHAM, N.C., March 20, 2006 -- Tuan Vo-Dinh, a pioneer in the field of photonics at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has joined the department of biomedical engineering at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering, where he will serve as...
Fiber Optic Device Probes for Early Cancer
Mar 14, 2006 — DURHAM, N.C., March 14, 2006 -- A new device that could use light to harmlessly and almost instantly probe for early signs of cancer has been developed by researchers at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering. The device would allow...
