Purdue researchers find a clearer way to measure quantum entanglement
A new approach could help scientists better characterize quantum devices and understand whether they are exhibiting useful quantum behavior.
Lasers, Doppler effect personalize chemotherapy drug selection for cancer tumors
Purdue University researcher David Nolte uses laser light, the Doppler effect and AI in an imaging system that may be able to pinpoint the best chemotherapy drugs to treat an individual patient’s tumor.
Purdue physicists watch quantum matter lose and regain its coherence
Experiments with ultracold atoms reveal how collective quantum order can survive beneath seemingly chaotic behavior. The work, led by researchers in Purdue University's Department of Physics and Astronomy, was published in Nature Communications as "Direct observation of long-range many-body coherence in quasi-one-dimensional attractive Bose gases." The study provides an experimental look at how many interacting quantum particles behave far from equilibrium, an area that remains difficult to understand theoretically.
Catalyzing metabolite research for agriculture, ecosystems and industry
Concealed within the molecular machinery of petunia flowers are metabolic, genetic and cellular processes that biotechnologists can engineer to improve crops and plant health and benefit pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. Building on a large body of their previous research, Purdue University scientists have launched a project to bring these advances closer to fruition.
Leadership meeting advances Purdue partnership with Tohoku University
Leadership and faculty from Purdue University met in Sendai, Japan, with leadership and faculty from Tohoku University to establish a strategic partnership between the universities. On August 19-20, 2026, the teams held a reception and a leadership meeting as an important step toward such a strategic partnership.
