New explosive materials to bring nontoxic ammunition
Purdue University researchers, in collaboration with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory, developed two new lead-free materials that function as primary explosives, which are used to ignite powder inside a gun cartridge.
Light shaken and stirred to help autonomous vehicles better scan for nearby fast-moving objects
New technology uses acoustics to better control a pulse of laser light split into a frequency comb, potentially helping lidar to achieve detection of nearby high-speed objects
How will climate change affect energy use in cities?
Roshanak “Roshi” Nateghi, a Purdue professor of industrial engineering, and her students are developing predictive models to estimate the impact climate change could have on electricity and water use.
Purdue team gets $1 million to develop rapid sensor technology for cattle disease
Purdue University researchers, led by Mohit Verma, an assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering, are developing technology to reduce Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) diagnosis time to about 30 minutes.
Plant scientists maintain critical research to save data and irreplaceable plants
The College of Agriculture accounted for more than a third of Purdue researchers who asked for access and support to continue critical research when facilities closed this spring.
New treatment approach uses killer cells to treat deadly brain tumors
A Purdue University cancer innovator and his team have developed a promising new approach to treating glioblastomas using a type of immune cell called the natural killer (NK) cell.
Not just a reflex: Swallowing is complicated, but this researcher is making it easier
For some people, being able to safely swallow means the difference between life and death.
Georgia Malandraki, associate professor of speech, language, and hearing sciences at Purdue University, is uncovering the relationship between the brain and swallowing to develop treatments for children and adults who have difficulty swallowing
Protective antibodies identified for rare, polio-like disease in children
Antibodies for the enterovirus 68 respiratory virus that can cause a rare polio-like disease that causes paralysis in children have been identified by a team of researchers at Purdue University, Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the University of Wisconsin.
Bubbling methane emissions caused by ice-free days in Arctic lakes
The length of time Arctic lakes are ice-covered is decreasing, and this is allowing methane to bubble into the atmosphere.
