Edward Delp, director of the Video and Imaging Processing Laboratory at Purdue University, says deepfakes are a growing danger with the next presidential election fast approaching.

A new study reports that children ages 2-17 who drink sweetened beverages, including diet and regular sodas, have higher sugar and calorie intake than children who consume unsweetened alternatives, like milk or water.

Researchers at various Microsoft Quantum lab sites, including the lab of Michael Manfra at Purdue University, collaborated to create a device that could bring more scalable quantum bits.

A new approach to breast cancer may prevent cancer from reappearing years later. A research team led by scientists at Purdue University have identified a drug the doesn’t kill the metastatic cancer cells, but instead keeps them in a non-threatening early developmental state in a technique the researchers call “lock-‘n’-block.”

The Resilient ExtraTerrestrial Habitats Institute (RETH) is working to ensure that the first long-term settlement on other planetary bodies are safe from hazards such as a meteoroid colliding with the moon or violent sandstorms on Mars.

New brain-like networks could help robots approach human-like efficiency at object recognition tasks. Purdue University researchers have developed a process to use magnetics with brain-like networks to program and teach devices such as personal robots, self-driving cars and drones to better generalize about different objects.

A study led by Professor Laurent Couëtil found that 80 percent of thoroughbred racehorses surveyed had mild or moderate asthma. Couëtil, who is also a professor of large animal internal medicine in Purdue’s College of Veterinary Medicine, has spent much of his career treating and researching equine respiratory disease.

A Purdue University researcher has come up with a patented design for drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, that works in windy conditions, is more energy-efficient and can handle a larger payload. The was inspired by the wings and flight patterns of insects.

Six major life science entities – Purdue University, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indiana University Bloomington, the University of Illinois-Champaign, Eli Lilly and Company, and the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute – have pooled their resources together to purchase the latest version of the nearly $9 million machine.

Purdue University researchers have developed a model to help meet the medical and financial needs of families in the rural parts of Kenya.
