What if a drug you need every single day of your life could be implanted into your body so that you don’t have to remember to take a pill?

Nuclear is the only “baseload” low-carbon energy source, meaning it can provide a consistent level of electricity to the grid — unlike solar or wind, which are subject to fluctuations in daylight or wind patterns.

Researchers have engineered ceramic nanotubes, which act as antennas that use light-matter oscillations to control heat radiation. The design is a step toward a new class of ceramics that work more efficiently at high temperatures.

A new type of material for next-generation solar cells eliminates the need to use lead, which has been a major roadblock for this technology.

When Abby Engelberth brought her 1-year-old son to a conference this past spring, attendee after attendee—mostly women—commended her for setting a good example for combining family and professional life.

Purdue College of Engineering has announced that the application window is open for a new class of Ph.D. fellowships. The Dean’s Doctoral Fellowships will recognize and cultivate top engineering talent, and awards will be granted to individual scholars pursuing Ph.D. research in electrical and computer engineering.

J.R. Carrillo, a Lieutenant Commander in the Coast Guard and a master's student in AAE, received one of the military's top honors for a pilot on Friday.

It may still be decades before quantum computers are ready to solve problems that today’s classical computers aren’t fast or efficient enough to solve, but the emerging “probabilistic computer” could bridge the gap between classical and quantum computing.

The human hand is a wonder for all the things it can do and feel. Modern-day prosthetics are also marvels – for all they can do for those who have lost a hand. We’ve enhanced the capabilities of these artificial hands with an electronic glove (e-glove) system that fits onto a prosthetic hand and can detect external stimuli like temperature, humidity and pressure.

Purdue University engineers have studied energetic materials (explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics) for many years. Now, for the first time ever, they have used high speed x-rays to look inside these energetic materials during an actual explosion, to determine exactly what causes them to react.
