Purdue University will lead a new national center to develop brain-inspired computing for intelligent autonomous systems such as drones and personal robots capable of operating without human intervention.

The new $54 million Flex Lab Facility opened early this year with David Kish at the helm as director.

Scott Tingle (MSME ’88) arrived at the International Space Station, the 23rd Purdue graduate to become an astronaut. Scott will spend the next six months conducting scientific experiments as part of Expedition 54. Fellow Purdue graduate Drew Feustel will join him on the ISS in March 2018.

Dr. Juan Pablo Wachs and the ISAT Lab welcomed Mr. Atilio Berardi, Consul General of Argentina, and his team last week during a visit to Purdue University.

With the ISS partners committed to operating the station only through 2024, a new report calls on NASA to develop transition plans for the growing amount of research performed there.

The Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana (APAI) has named Jason Buechlein and Alexander Mahan 2017 APAI Scholars.

Congratulations to Purdue Civil Engineering student Adlan Amran! He is the winner of this semester's Thomas and Evelyn Page ASCE Student Chapter Fund.

New findings have solved a longstanding obstacle in research to understand the effects of heat conduction in solid materials, a critical issue in many applications, from energy conversion to electronics cooling.

Researchers have developed a method to deposit tiny amounts of energetic materials (explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics) using the same technology as an inkjet printer.

Sarah Calve, an assistant professor in Purdue’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, has been named the recipient of the 2018 Rising Star Award for Junior Faculty.
