Purdue physics professor Laura Pyrak-Nolte and her lab team works with Purdue’s Rock Physics Research Group to better understand how and where fractures form.

Purdue University researchers have developed a new tool to help first responders and disaster relief organizations better provide assistance to developing countries. The Purdue team created a cloud-based supply chain management system for emergency response to track inventory and distribution in countries struck by disasters.

Purdue University researchers currently have more than 20 research projects underway to understand, prevent, treat, and overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.

Youmi Oh (left) and Qianlai Zhuang’s research has revised estimates of net methane emissions from the Arctic. Their modeling considers not only methane emitted by wetland methanogens, but also methane consumed by upland methanotrophs and the effects of these microbes in a warmer climate.

A 3D camera should be as easy to use as one found on a smartphone. That is the guiding principle for a Purdue University professor with more than two decades of experience in the 3D imaging field, who has developed new technologies aimed at making 3D cameras easier to use.

Marian Liu, an assistant professor of nursing at Purdue University, specializing in studying exploitation of older and vulnerable adults, can talk about ways to protect yourself from scams, especially as a large number of Americans are participating in online activities from home.

Purdue University engineers have built a device that would allow disease specialists to load an extracellular matrix sample onto a platform and detect its stiffness through sound waves.

According to Amanda Deering, an Extension specialist in Purdue’s Department of Food Science, current research indicates that the coronavirus is not foodborne or food-transmitted.

A novel underwater adhesive technology, based on a glue used naturally by marine creatures, soon may provide a safer adhesive option for industries ranging from biomedical to aerospace.

Purdue University researchers have developed a collapsible basket technology to help speed up the process of retrieving the cell and tissue samples for histology analysis. This will significantly accelerate the analysis process when drug discovery scientists are developing new medicines or when health care professionals are searching for the best drugs for a given patient.
