The SARS-CoV-2 virus mutates fast. That’s a concern because these more transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2 are now present in the U.S., U.K. and South Africa…
Engineers make it possible to simulate complete ‘dance’ of colliding vortices at reduced computational time. In 2018, passengers onboard a flight to Australia experienced a…
Electronics are increasingly being paired with optical systems, such as when accessing the internet on an electronically run computer through fiber optic cables. But meshing…
A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor…
A new therapy for influenza virus infections that may also prove effective against many other pathogenic virus infections, including HIV and COVID-19, has been developed…
One-step multicomponent reaction with interpretable machine learning innovation to develop chemical library for drug discovery. Machine learning has been used widely in the chemical sciences…
Purdue University innovators are taking cues from nature to develop 3D photodetectors for biomedical imaging. The Purdue researchers used some architectural features from spider webs…
Getting run over by a car is not a near-death experience for the diabolical ironclad beetle. How the beetle survives could inspire the development of…
New research provides insights into how cirrus clouds form, with implications for agriculture, urban development and climate-change predictions. The study shows that trees and plants…
New experimental evidence of a collective behavior of electrons to form “quasiparticles” called “anyons” has been reported by a team of scientists at Purdue University….
Method to further understanding of the quantum state space. In 2019, Google claimed it was the first to demonstrate a quantum computer performing a calculation…
‘Intelligent concrete’ could cut down on road repairs and traffic. Roads always seem to need repairs. Luna Lu is giving concrete the ability to “talk”…
Highly energetic, “hot” electrons have the potential to help solar panels more efficiently harvest light energy. But scientists haven’t been able to measure the energies…
Pools across the U.S. are set to reopen in the coming weeks. If recommended chlorine levels are maintained as usual, the pools themselves should pose…
The production of rare earth metals is a global $4 billion annual market that continues to grow as new electronics, computerized engines for aircraft, warships,…
Quantum material could offset energy demand of artificial intelligence. To just solve a puzzle or play a game, artificial intelligence can require software running on…
Bacterial pathogens can live on surfaces for days. What if frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs could instantly kill them off? Purdue University engineers have…
Nanoparticle levitated by light rotates at 300 billion rpm A dumbbell-shaped nanoparticle powered just by the force and torque of light has become the world’s…
