Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are everywhere in our lives. LIB application fields are even growing into military missions and advanced exploration, which require resistance to severe cold in the polar region of the Earth and in outer space. But even state-of-the-art LIBs suffer from huge performance degradation as temperatures decrease, and they stop operating at all in extreme cold.

The excitement today around neural engineering is palpable, holding the promise of developing personalized treatments for neurological disorders and more options for understudied and undertreated conditions. It's this combination of engineering and medicine that captivates Damen Wilson, a third-year MD/PhD student in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering.

Among the Purdue faculty in Indianapolis is Xiaoping Du, who is now a professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering.

In a matter of months, Purdue AI Racing took giant leaps to reach two major milestones: competing in "Tier 2" during the Indy Autonomous Challenge at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and recording a personal speed record of 159 mph!

Manuel Salmeron, a PhD student in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering under the supervision of professor Shirley Dyke and co-advised by professor Julio Ramírez, wants to develop a framework that will allow us to better understand infrastructure and product degradation so we can design smarter and optimize maintenance for more predictable performance and reliability.

Among the Purdue faculty in Indianapolis is Lingxi Li, who is now a professor in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. We sat down with Professor Li for a brief chat.

Chen-yi Lu, a second-year PhD student and graduate research assistant in Purdue Engineering's Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, wants to make AI models that can work more on their own accord.

In this podcast, Purdue AI Racing Team members Dan Williams, Ashley Shaffer, Yuchen Song talk about their day at the track in Las Vegas during the Consumer Electronics Show.

History has shown that when Purdue University and Eli Lilly and Company join forces, lives are transformed. Together, these Indiana institutions are driving critical breakthroughs in drug discovery and pharmaceutical research, tackling some of the most complex challenges in modern health care and preparing the next generation of industry innovators.

From state-of-the-art facilities in West Lafayette, Purdue and Rolls-Royce are leading the world in what's next for aerospace research.
