Purdue University researchers have developed parallel inner-magnet device to reduce the size and increase the efficiency of moderate- to low-power electric generators, which are used in automobiles, aircraft and microgrids.
Two Purdue University graduates are developing a device called Presso, a kiosk garment cleaning device that takes only three to seven minutes to clean clothes through a combination of steam, a cleaning liquid and air drying. The kiosk is less expensive than conventional dry cleaning and also more environmentally friendly.
A Purdue University team has come up with 3D body mapping technology to help treat organs and cells damaged by cancer and other medical issues
Purdue University researchers have found evidence near agricultural fields of pesticides on milkweed, a vital source of food for monarch butterfly caterpillars. It raises questions about pesticide roles in the decline of the species.
A Purdue University study led by Michael Scharf, professor and O.W. Rollins/Orkin Chair in the Department of Entomology, now finds evidence that German cockroaches (Blattella germanica L.) are becoming more difficult to eliminate as they develop cross-resistance to exterminators’ best insecticides.
Purdue University researchers are developing a method of combating that antibiotic resistance through self-disinfecting surfaces that would kill bacteria, even those known as superbugs. The researchers are developing an ultra-thin coating, smaller than a micrometer, made of ultraviolet light emitting diodes, that could be integrated into materials
Purdue University researchers in collaboration with the Indiana University School of Medicine have created a new chemoradiotherapy formulation that they predict should be even more effective than what is available commercially. The formulation shouldn’t produce side effects because all its toxins stay within tumors, rather than leaking into the bloodstream and harming the whole body.
A new study suggests that many pregnant women are not getting the proper amounts of some vitamins and minerals, even with supplements, while many are getting potentially excessive amounts of sodium.
Regan Bailey, an associate professor in nutrition science in Purdue University’s College of Health and Human Sciences, led the research team.
Purdue University researchers have come up with a solution of adding a graphene monolayer to protect platinum microelectrodes used in implantable neurostimulation devices.
Ganesan Narsimhan, professor of agricultural and biological engineering, Vivek Narsimhan, assistant professor of chemical engineering, and their team developed a mathematical model for use in designing starch products with desirable textures.
