Purdue University researchers have come up with a new method to help create future city layouts.

Vibronix Inc., a Purdue University-affiliated company, received a Small Business Innovation Research grant to advance a new technology called AcouStar. AcouStar will make it easier for surgeons to pinpoint breast cancer tumors so they can be removed faster and more accurately.

Purdue University researchers have developed a prototype smartphone app that allows a user to easily program any robot to perform a mundane activity, such as picking up parts from one area and delivering them to another.

The mantis shrimp’s secret is its tail appendage, called a telson. Engineers have now discovered what allows the telson to absorb the blows of its feisty self, with the goal of applying these lessons to protective gear.

Research led by Seema Mattoo identifies a protein that could be used to treat or prevent Parkinson’s disease.

A system under development at Purdue University uses artificial intelligence to detect cracks captured in videos of nuclear reactors. The system analyzes video, frame by frame, to detect any cracks.

Throughout June, the Discovery Park and Research@Purdue social media accounts will feature research in the areas of space exploration, artificial intelligence, health and longevity, and sustainable economy and planet as well as cross-cutting pieces that showcase two or more of these areas.

Purdue University researchers developed a novel video streaming framework that allows users to download content collaboratively. This new technology is an algorithm that allows everyone in that group to share the video stream, which means higher video quality and lower data use per person.

Computer science professor Tiark Rompf, left, and principal investigator Milind Kulkarni, an electrical and computer engineering professor, are part of a project that will combine programming languages and security research to help build computational trust. Their project, called HACCLE, is receiving fuding from the Intelligence Advanced Research Activity, an organization within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence

Shorter sleep duration has been linked to higher BMI, and that relationship has led researchers to consider whether poor sleep might contribute to higher BMI. This study found that kids with shorter sleep duration had higher BMI in general, but no evidence of a causal link.
