This project is part of Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification (ASPIRE), a National Science Foundation-funded research and development initiative to accelerate sustainable and equitable transportation electrification. Purdue's Pekarek says being part of this type of consortium is beneficial for information sharing to advance the technology.

Modern smartphones feature a 'dark mode' setting that alters the appearance of what you see on-screen by using a theme with darker colors, especially black.

Cybersecurity expert Santiago Torres-Arias and Sandwire CEO and Kaseya MSP partner Adam Schwam talk about the need for vendors to secure the software supply chain against incidents like the recent REvil ransomware attacks.

The Indiana Department of Transportation and Purdue University want to build a stretch of highway that would charge electric cars as they drive. INDOT said electrifying the state’s highways would reduce pollution and support Indiana companies that make parts for new electric heavy trucks.

Ransomware cyber attacks are continuing to affect businesses around the globe, but a Purdue expert is working to put a stop to it.

The most recent attack happened last weekend, and it affected companies by targeting their software vendor, Kaseya.

The hackers then demanded a ransom of $70 million.
But imagine a race with no drivers in the cars?

That's going to happen at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this fall.

The IMS and Energy Systems Network have partnered up for the Indy Autonomous Challenge: a 50-mile autonomous car race that will showcase technology and innovation at the Racing Capital of the World.

'Lettuce prove it' could be the rally cry of a team of Purdue University students that just captured top prize at the annual Student Soybean Innovation Competition, where students harvest new ideas that will drive consumption of the crop. Now with a pending patent, the team invented a liquid biostimulant—made almost entirely of soybeans—that produced lettuce 30% bigger than standard lettuce when the students tested it. But greens are just the beginning; the team believes the biostimulant could be used on any plant, and especially benefit crops in vertical farming.

Technology is the new frontier of international relations. The interaction is bi-directional: technology is defining diplomatic matters while diplomacy is also influencing the development and deployment of technology.

Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) is teaming up with state academic institutions Indiana University (IU), The University of Notre Dame, and Purdue University to develop Trusted Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and workforce development. This initiative launched in June and is intended to scale over several years.

Russia's historically destructive NotPetya malware attack and its more recent SolarWinds cyber espionage campaign have something in common besides the Kremlin: They're both real-world examples of software supply chain attacks. It's a term for what happens when a hacker slips malicious code into legitimate software that can spread far and wide. And as more supply chain attacks emerge, a new open source project is angling to take a stand, making a crucial safeguard free and easy to implement.

Purdue University has named the first Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fellow for its College of Engineering. The university says Yung-Hsiang Lu, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, will collaborate with the Purdue Foundry and Purdue for Life Foundation to help spur faculty and student innovation and commercialization.
