An unmanned aerial systems research and test facility at Purdue will be the test bed of virtual and augmented reality experiments on human interactions with drones and other aircraft.

The National Institutes of Health has provided funding to Tymora Analytical Operations, a Purdue University-affiliated company working to help make early detection of Alzheimer’s and other diseases easier and less agonizing for patients.

Purdue University scientists have come up with patented techniques that may cut down the fire risk from lithium-ion batteries, which are found in everyday electronic devices.

Sea turtles became the poster child for the war against plastic straws. But straws are just one challenge facing this 120 million-year-old species. Frank Paladino, the Jack W. Schrey Distinguished Professor of Biology and director of the Marine Conservation and Biology Center of Excellence at Purdue University Fort Wayne, has spent nearly 30 years researching sea turtles to help stabilize their population.

A partnership between Purdue University and some top law enforcement agencies in South Korea is working to adapt U.S. procedures for handling domestic violence calls for South Korea.

A research team has created the first comprehensive map of interactions between the genes of the virus and host cells in EBV-associated cancers, knowledge that could lead to new treatments.

Scientists at Purdue University and France’s Institut de Cancérologie de L’Ouest (ICO) have discovered that glyphosate, the primary ingredient in some widely used herbicides and pesticides, can lead to breast cancer under certain conditions. The discovery is another step forward when it comes to determining how cancer starts, and how it can be prevented.

Richard Voyles, a professor in the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, believes artificial intelligence and robotics could hold the key to giving dairy farmers in-depth data on the status of their herd, including illness or anxiety.

A new technique from Purdue University is designed to improve missiles, engines and drinking glasses made from ceramic materials

Jason Hoverman’s research shows that predators can reduce infection prevalence in prey populations, and that some prey infected with a pathogen may be more susceptible to predators. The findings provide evidence that biodiversity plays an important role in population health.
