Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse ...

Biomedical engineering recognizes unmet needs in health care and seeks solutions for clinicians and patients. Duke is a pioneer in this space, which is aimed at using innovation to save lives. Duke ...

Duke’s electrical and computer engineers have launched ambitious companies and research programs in two areas of great risk and potential—quantum computing and edge computing. We equip our ...

In this era of unprecedented global change, if humanity is to thrive, it must adapt—in harmony with the natural world. Duke CEE’s leading programs in civil engineering and environmental engineering ...

A black sedan cruises silently down a quiet suburban road, driver humming Christmas carols quietly while the car’s autopilot handles the driving. Suddenly, red flashing lights and audible warnings ...

Duke engineers introduce Argus, a robot with no front, no back and 20 eyes, as proof-of-concept for a new design principle called dynamic symmetry. Symmetry is everywhere in nature, from the bilateral ...

An environmental chemistry laboratory at Duke University has solved a longstanding mystery of the origin of high levels of PFAS—so-called “forever chemicals”—contaminating water sources in the ...

Discoveries of new materials underlie many of the forward leaps in human society throughout the ages. Roads made from Roman concrete that still stand today allowed merchants and armies to travel ...

Glassfrogs make themselves transparent while they rest by taking red blood cells from circulation and concealing them in their livers. A multi-university team of biologists and biomedical engineers ...

Computer engineers at Duke University have demonstrated that using complex numbers—numbers with both real and imaginary components—can play an integral part in securing artificial intelligence ...

Students in the Climate & Sustainability Engineering Master of Engineering inaugural cohort embarked on summer internships where they tackled real-world climate challenges and learned more about ...

The human body relies heavily on electrical charges. Lightning-like pulses of energy fly through the brain and nerves and most biological processes depend on electrical ions traveling across the ...
