Duke engineers are leaders in discovering and developing materials with desired structures and properties for diverse applications in areas such as health, computing, energy and security.
The 8th International Soft Matter Conference (ISMC) will be held in the Raleigh Convention Center this summer, marking the first time in the conference’s history that it will be held in the Americas. Duke’s Soft Matter Day, the Triangle Soft Matter Workshop, and the Young Investigator Workshop round out a year focused on elevating materials science.
Coarser modeling approach allows researchers to better understand the process by which DNA folds into engineered nanoscale structures to speed innovation
New grant supports development of new materials that have high strength combined with low thermal conductivity at temperatures reaching above 1,800 degrees.
