A new highly efficient power amplifier for electronics could help make possible next-generation cell phones, low-cost collision-avoidance radar for cars and lightweight microsatellites for communications.

Researchers at Purdue have been working on technology that may help pave the way for the future of artificial limbs.

Purdue researchers have developed a prototype system that could allow law enforcement and public safety agencies to tap into thousands of cameras located in numerous venues including parking garages, college campuses, national parks and highways.

Grape growers may soon have access to technology that gives them real-time data about soil conditions in their vineyards.

A newly described property related to the "spin" and momentum of light waves suggests potential practical applications in photonic communications and photonic circuits.

Researchers have developed a new analytical tool for medical applications and biological research that might be used to diagnose cancer more rapidly than conventional methods.

Our fingerprints identify us, and that’s about all they can do. Zhongming Liu gathers far more useful kinds of fingerprints — maps of neural circuitry and activity in our brains, which will truly characterize us and help us understand and treat mental illness and neurological disorders.

Engineering healthier brains through the assessment, treatment and prevention of neurophysiologic injury and disease

New transparent metamaterials under development could make possible computer chips and interconnecting circuits that use light instead of electrons to process and transmit data, representing a potential leap in performance.

Transistors with compound-semiconductor nanowires could consume less power than today’s silicon FinFETs
