Coronavirus concerns, commodity price declines and supply-chain disruptions sink producer sentiment to a three-year low, according to the April Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.

Understanding why some jobs fail and what can be done to make supercomputers more reliable is the focus of a recent project led by Saurabh Bagchi, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, and ITaP senior research scientist Carol Song.

WellSource Nutraceuticals, a startup located in Purdue Research Park of Northwest Indiana, has created a nutritional supplement to help women in fertility programs.

Methyl-NX is designed to specifically address the unique design criteria to support in vitro fertilization and fertility programs.

Purdue researchers are exploring ways of determining the extent of psychological trauma induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and identifying factors that influence depression, anxiety, substance use and self-harm. The team will focus on critical care registered nurses in hospital settings.

A new tool could allow for better understanding for diseases affecting the brain, regenerative therapies

Purdue research and testing is taking the dream of living in space beyond space stations and making the potential of future moon– and possibly Mars – colonies a reality.

Manufacturing will look strikingly different in the post-pandemic era, says Ananth Iyer, senior associate dean in the Krannert School of Management and director of the Dauch Center for the Management of Manufacturing Enterprises (DCMME).

Building wind turbines offshore can require parts to be shipped at least 30 miles away from a coast. Purdue University engineers are conducting research on a way to make these parts out of 3D-printed concrete, a less expensive material that would also allow parts to float to a site from an onshore plant.

A new round of support will help a Purdue University-affiliated startup further develop a platform designed to create drugs for people with hard-to-treat cancers. Akanocure Pharmaceuticals Inc. has received a $750,000 Small Business Innovation Research Phase II grant from the National Science Foundation to develop chemical tools and platforms to produce valuable chemical building blocks.

Soft and flexible materials called halide perovskites could make solar cells more efficient at significantly less cost, but they’re too unstable to use. A Purdue University-led research team has found a way to make halide perovskites stable enough by inhibiting the ion movement that makes them rapidly degrade, unlocking their use for solar panels as well as electronic devices.

Purdue University professor Eugene H. Spafford has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious honorary societies.

Spafford, director emeritus of Purdue’s Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance (CERIAS) and professor of computer science, is one of 276 members of the newest academy class.

A method using the color intensity of light to measure chemical concentrations soon may help speed the processes for developing medications, printers, and other products.
