Since the term "microscopic plastic" or "microplastics" first appeared in the scientific literature two decades ago, these tiny plastic particles have been detected in virtually every environmental compartment, as well as in various human and animal organs. The discovery of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) deposited in remote regions around the world and even in human […]
Faculty and staff of the Pratt School of Engineering are invited to the Spring General Meeting of the faculty. Use your Duke email address to RSVP by April 3 at: https://forms.office.com/r/hFGNXaf6HY
Optional make-up day (for February 20 classes)
Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are highly adaptable platforms for molecular biology and bioengineering. We have reported that bacterial pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa likewise use filamentous phages as structural components in bacterial biofilms - slimy, polymeric films that bacteria use to colonize airways, wounds, and other surfaces. In particular, Pf phages organize P. aeruginosa […]
Geomechanics is a branch of engineering and geosciences that studies the mechanical behavior of the subsurface in response to natural forces and human activities. The subsurface is inherently complex and difficult to observe, making geomechanical problems challenging to analyze both theoretically and computationally. These challenges impact engineering applications, limiting the scope of what is achievable. […]
