A device created by Purdue University students smashed a record previously held by Mitsubishi Electric engineers.

United States Army Lieutenant Madeline Lenkart — a master’s student in the Purdue Engineering School of Industrial Engineering and a Purdue Military Institute Research Fellow — is working on creating a circular space economy.

The experiments could accelerate the deployment of advanced reactors by testing new capabilities that may help lower costs, increase safety and lifespan.

Akanshu Sharma, the Jack and Kay Hockema Associate Professor in Civil Engineering, leads a team investigating a new technique to reinforce concrete structures and protect them against earthquake damage.

Purdue University researchers are zeroing in on the study of "through silicon vias" — how small they can be made while still robust enough to be reliable.

Australian stingless bees are providing unexpected inspiration for engineers and designers, thanks to their uniquely structured honeycombs that defy traditional vertical layouts and could inform future sustainable manufacturing methods.

Professor Gary Cheng and his team have been selected the ASME Blackall Machine Tool and Gage Award for the paper, titled "Nanoengineered Laser Shock Processing via Pulse Shaping for Nanostructuring in Metals: Multiscale simulations and experiments."

With electric vehicle (EV) sales projected to reach 38 million annually by 2030, the global race to decarbonize transportation has intensified. But behind the promise of cleaner mobility lies a complex challenge: how to build sustainable batteries without exacerbating environmental degradation or human rights concerns.

Alan Cesar, lead communications professional in the Purdue School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, received Northern Illinois University (NIU)’s 2025 Donald R. Grubb Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award at a banquet held April 11.

Thanks to Purdue Engineering's renowned mechanical and motorsports engineering programs in West Lafayette and Indianapolis, dozens of Boilermakers are powering teams in the 33-car field of this month's race, such as current leader and defending IndyCar season team champion Chip Ganassi Racing, 20-time Indianapolis 500 champion Team Penske, Andretti Global, Arrow McLaren, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and many more.
