Purdue University innovators are taking cues from nature to develop 3D photodetectors for biomedical imaging.
They used some architectural features from spider webs to develop the technology.
A rectangular robot as tiny as a few human hairs can travel throughout a colon by doing back flips, Purdue University engineers have demonstrated in live animal models. Why the back flips? Because the goal is to use these robots to transport drugs in humans, whose colons and other organs have rough terrain. Side flips work, too.

Purdue University’s Songlin Fei has shown that ash trees are not regenerating well in forests where the ash borers have invaded, leaving the tree species likely to become functionally extinct.
Purdue University innovators have advanced novel compounds that they developed to help treat patients with C. diff, one of only four bacteria considered an urgent threat by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Greg Shaver, a professor of mechanical engineering, and Neera Jain, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, stand next to one of Purdue University’s research trucks. Shaver’s research on reducing emissions was cited in recent landmark regulations passed in California.
Purdue innovators created a wearable invention that offers options for treating antibiotic-resistant infections and wounds.
A Purdue team created a flexible, printed circuit board that imitates the conventional wire configurations inside an electric guitar.
Safe Food En Route, a Purdue University-affiliated startup, provides food safety support for businesses.
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a system for efficient, low-cost monitoring for machine health with audio-based artificial intelligence technology.
