Invisibility Cloaks to Become DIY?
DURHAM, N.C., May 7, 2013 — Invisibility cloaks, first demonstrated in complex lab experiments at Duke University seven years ago, could become much simpler to create using 3-D printing, a Duke engineer believes. "I would argue that essentially anyone who can spend a couple...
Image Compressor Beats JPEG
DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 18, 2013 — Unlike jpeg algorithms, which compress an image after it is taken, a new low-profile metamaterial sensor uses microwave imaging to compress pictures as they are being recorded.
Nanostructure Creation Takes Bottom Up Approach
DURHAM, N.C., May 2, 2012 — A bottom-up approach to the self-assembly of microscopic particles into larger crystalline structures – by altering the concentrations of tiny particles and their magnetic fields – could produce the basic components for advanced optics, data storage...
IR Material Creates Holograms
DURHAM, N.C., March 19, 2012 — A newly developed metamaterial construct could create holograms in the infrared range for the first time.
‘GRIN on steroids’: New lens uses opaque metamaterials
DURHAM, N.C. – It doesn’t look like a lens; it looks more like a tiny set of Venetian blinds. It’s not even made of traditional lens materials such as highly polished glass or plastic. But a new generation of lenses has the potential to make big changes in radar...
Capping Two-faced Particles
DURHAM, NC, Aug. 13, 2009 – In Roman mythology Janus, known as the god of gates, doorways, and beginnings and endings, was typically depicted as having two faces looking opposite directions. Scientists at Duke University borrowed the Roman god’s name for a unique class of...
Provost Picked for Power Post
BALTIMORE, Md., March 13, 2009 -- Johns Hopkins University Provost and electrical engineer Kristina M. Johnson will be nominated to serve as undersecretary of the Department of Energy, President Barack Obama announced yesterday. If confirmed by the Senate as expected, Johnson...
Heating Up Microscopy
DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 17, 2008 – Bioengineers at Duke University are using nanospheres of gold to create a photothermal optical coherence tomography (OCT) to witness the interaction of living molecules. OCT, which has been called the optical equivalent of an ultrasound, is...
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...
Bejan Receives Luikov Medal for Thermal Sciences
Aug 24, 2006 — Adrian Bejan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering, has received the Luikov Medal for his contributions to the field of thermal sciences, including his development of the constructal law of design in...
Theoretical Blueprint for Invisibility Cloak Reported
DURHAM, N.C., June 2, 2006 -- Using a new design theory, researchers have developed the blueprint for an invisibility cloak. Once devised, the cloak could have numerous uses, from defense applications to wireless communications, they said. Such a cloak could hide any object so...
Duke Professor Honored for Work in Ultrathin Silicon Dielectrics
May 10, 2006 — Professor Hisham Massoud of Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering in Durham, N.C., has been awarded the 2006 Electronics and Photonics Division Award of the Electrochemical Society (ECS) for his work on ultrathin silicon dielectric films....
Superconductor Potential Found in 'Metal Sandwich'
DURHAM, N.C., May 9, 2006 -- After a lengthy data search for new compounds, researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering said they have discovered a theoretical "metal sandwich" that is expected to be a good superconductor. Because superconductive materials have...
Magnetism Shepherds Microlenses to Excavate 'Nanocavities'
DURHAM, N.C., April 12, 2006 -- A Duke University engineer is "herding" tiny lenses with magnetic ferrofluids, precisely aligning them so they focus bursts of light to excavate patterns of cavities on surfaces. Such photolithographically produced "nanocavities" -- each only...
