A student-led club at Purdue has secured a Stage 1 victory in the prestigious NASA-sponsored GoAero competition. This accomplishment has earned the GoAero Purdue team $28,571 in funding, giving them a boost in prototyping their innovative autonomous search-and-rescue aircraft design.

A research team from Purdue University and Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed a technology that, with the help of on-chip microcombs, could make ultra-precise optical atomic clock systems significantly smaller and more accessible – with significant benefits for navigation, autonomous vehicles, and geo-data monitoring.

Engineers in the OxideMEMS Lab at Purdue University's Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in collaboration with BAE Systems, have developed an innovative resonator design that promises to make wireless communication systems faster, more efficient, and more reliable.

Promise is one thing, execution another. The promise of digital agriculture is data-driven precision leading to higher crop yields and sustainable resource utilization. But the execution of any plan to realize the promise is fraught with failure, because the wealth of data and insight is not easily accessible and transferable.

Microsoft Quantum published an article in Nature on Feb. 19 detailing recent advances in the measurement of quantum devices that will be needed to realize a topological quantum computer. Among the authors are Microsoft scientists and engineers who conduct research at Microsoft Quantum Lab West Lafayette, located at Purdue University.

The IBM PhD Fellowship is awarded annually to outstanding doctoral students worldwide who demonstrate exceptional ability to innovate and the potential to contribute to groundbreaking developments in technology.

Purdue grad students are assisting the multi-institutional research team connected with the AIDA3, officially named Center on AI for Digital, Autonomous and Augmented Aviation, which is the first major output of Purdue's Institute for Physical Artificial Intelligence (IPAI) within Purdue Computes and also is part of Institutes and Centers at Discovery Park District.

Vladimir M. Shalaev, the Bob and Anne Burnett Distinguished Professor in Purdue University's Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) - one of the highest professional honors an engineer can receive. He was recognized for his "contributions to negative-refractive-index material at optical frequencies and metamaterial applications for national security."

Purdue researchers are aiming to confirm the fractional behavior of spins that enable error-resilient quantum states. The team has been awarded a $1.2 million W.M. Keck Foundation grant.

Purdue University semiconductor faculty leaders recently conducted a mini retreat to discuss immediate next steps and long-term plans for Semiconductors@Purdue. Based on the foundation laid with the signing of the CHIPS and Science Act in 2022, Purdue is forging pathways to the future with successful new partnerships and initiatives that will support a growing semiconductor ecosystem at Purdue and across Indiana.
