Boiler Gold Rush is way more than just an orientation program for incoming freshman. Instead of a typical information-distributing snooze fest, BGR fine-tuned a week-long adventure to fit the needs of every new college student. For some students, this experience was the first time exploring a campus they will call home for the next four years.

In a potential breakthrough for the treatment of obesity and diabetes, Purdue University scientists have found a way to deliver a drug directly to stored white fat cells to turn them into more easily burned brown fat cells.

A Purdue University graduate wants to make sure we dispose of no wine before its time.

Purdue University in September will hold its first Symposium on Applied Spectroscopy and Photonics: From Cells to Cosmos, attracting top researchers in the field, with subjects ranging from Mars exploration to biomedical engineering.

Prehensile Technologies, a company developing robotic assistive technology devices, is developing RoboTable, a robotic over-the-bed table, to help veterans and others with disabilities or mobility impairments better use their laptop computers and mobile devices while restricted to bed, allowing them to be more independent and remain productive with work or school.

Interactions between light and matter are a fundamental unit of modern physics, but recently researchers have started to look beyond the standard textbook interactions.

Researchers are proposing the use of stochastic units to perform precise arithmetic calculations like digital computers, but invertibly. The new probabilistic spin logic, or PSL, system is made up of building-block units called p-bits.

Dr. Vaneet Aggarwal's CLAN Labs received a VURI award from AT&T Labs in June. AT&T's Virtual University Research Initiative (VURI) program facilitates collaborations between AT&T researchers and universities.
