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.
Purdue University scientists have uncovered a key signaling cascade that maintains a balance between stem cells and differentiated cells.
A growing number of law enforcement agencies from across the world want to use Purdue University technology to help them track down cybercriminals with a toolkit that also can help companies stop insider threats and technology-facilitated abuse.
Alexander Chubykin, assistant professor of biological sciences, is discovering how complications with prediction lead to changes in sensory perception and learning impairments, both of which are common symptoms of autism.
Similarly to how bats use echolocation to orient themselves with their surroundings, mathematicians have found that the same can be done with microphones and a speaker on a drone with the help of algebra and geometry.
Kingsly Ambrose, agricultural and biological engineering professor, studies particle technology, grain processing and particulate flow. One of the particles especially vulnerable to combustion is grain dust, found in grain handling facilities. Explosions at such facilities can be significant, potentially resulting in fatalities, injuries and/or millions of dollars in damages and lost revenue.
The Purdue team added bonds that are broken easily throughout the material to strengthen the adhesive.
An inexpensive device made out of paper could help rapidly and accurately diagnose coronavirus cases with funding for the right manufacturing process.
