Children with Down syndrome may be born with low muscle tone and a protruding tongue, which makes it more challenging to speak and eat. Hannah Ferrill, a Purdue University alumna in industrial design from Purdue’s College
of Liberal Arts, has developed a jaw-strengthening teether.

Companies are moving toward installing more double-sided solar panels. A new formula reveals exactly how much more electricity double-sided panels can generate compared to conventional single-sided panels, helping to better inform how the panels are designed.

A wearable monitoring device to make treatments easier and more affordable for the millions of people with swallowing disorders is about to be released into the market.

Purdue University drug discovery researchers have created a new framework for mining data for training machine learning models. The framework, called Lemon, helps drug researchers better mine the Protein Data Base (PDB) – a comprehensive resource with more than 140,000 biomolecular structures and with new ones being released every week.

Infrared cameras detect people and other objects by the heat they emit. Now, researchers have discovered the uncanny ability of a material to hide a target by masking its telltale heat properties.

Purdue University’s Center for Intelligent Infrastructure (CII) is bringing together researchers of various fields to develop technology that a bridge, building, road
or other infrastructure could use to communicate directly with humans and respond to disasters, preventing collapse.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 37 million people nationally live in food-insecure households. For those who visit food pantries, the frequency of their visits matters. That’s the conclusion of a study led by a Purdue University nutrition scientist who studies food insecurity and access to adequate and safe foods.

The discovery of how a “beam” in human bone material handles a lifetime’s worth of wear and tear could translate to the development of 3D-printed lightweight materials that last long enough for more practical use in buildings, aircraft and other structures.

You cannot make glue out of a ham sandwich – but you may be able to use the components of that food to create a strong adhesive.
That’s the thinking behind technology developed by a group of scientists at Purdue University, who have taken inspiration from the kitchen and the ocean to create strong glues.

Magment Concrete Wireless Power and Purdue University officials have announced an innovation partnership to advance electric transportation pilots at Purdue’s Discovery Park.

A new study by Purdue University nutrition scientists shows that eating more protein daily than what is recommended may benefit only a few – those who are actively losing weight by cutting calories or those strength training to build more lean muscle mass.

Jules Janick, a distinguished horticulture professor in Purdue University’s College of Agriculture, has been elected a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
