Purdue University technology targets compound destruction with a design that has potential to be used as part of a permeable reactive barrier underground to eradicate certain compounds in groundwater to keep them from spreading.
This past summer, a group from Purdue’s Lyles School of Civil Engineering joined researchers from Purdue’s College of Liberal Arts to explore the geography and artifacts from Dana Island using drones and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) mapping systems to better understand the island’s history.
Researchers have engineered ceramic nanotubes, which act as antennas that use light-matter oscillations to control heat radiation. The design is a step toward a new class of ceramics that work more efficiently at high temperatures.
SpeechVive, created by Jessica Huber, a professor in Purdue’s Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, uses a reflex to improve communication in Parkinson’s disease.
Andrew Flachs, an assistant professor of anthropology at Purdue University and standing on the far left, studied cotton growing in Telangana, India, for
six years, talking with the same
farmers year after year.
The University of Toledo has received a $267,700 National Science Foundation grant to research, along with Purdue University Northwest, how to teach high school students about cybersecurity and about the risks and threats from smart phones, tablets, and other technology.
The Indiana Water Resources Center (IWRRC) officially launched the State of Indiana Waters website. The website provides a single source of information for the general public regarding the status of Indiana’s water resources including ground and surface waters.
Lawmakers across the United States continue to debate the safety of kratom, an opioid-containing plant that has been listed as a “drug of concern” by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A Purdue University-led team recently published a paper examining the effects of kratom and the potential impacts on people with alcohol use disorder.
Vastra Inc., a Purdue University-affiliated student startup is developing “TriSense,” a next-generation driver safety system that can monitor health.
It’s challenging to design an implant that would work for every type of drug. Purdue University researchers developed a new method that uses an MRI to noninvasively see how an implant design affects the amount of a drug released into the body.
