Will Purdue University help Indiana become the Silicon Valley of the Midwest?

On Monday night’s “UnPHILtered,” News 8 anchor Phil Sanchez talked with Mark Lundstrom, a distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue, to learn why the school has been named one of the most innovative in the world and what it means for the Hoosier State.

What if you could drive your electric car anywhere in America and the road would charge it for you? Wireless EV charging may sound like science fiction, but it’s happening in Indiana, where researchers from ASPIRE are paving the way for an electrified future.

Keeping indoor spaces comfortable takes a lot of power. About half the energy Americans use in their homes goes toward heating and cooling, accounting for a sizable chunk of both utility bills and greenhouse gas emissions.

Microchip fab plants in the United States can cram billions of data processing transistors onto a tiny silicon chip, but a critical device, in essence a “clock,” to time the operation of those transistors must be made separately – creating a weak point in chip security and the supply line.

It is important to recognize and leverage diversity, not just race but skills in work environment! It helps in an overall team environment. Soft skills that include looking beyond the traditional diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, etc. Diversity of skills in developing future job offerings is critical in the workplace.

Researchers at Purdue University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of thermal radiation, uncovering a new method for generating spinning thermal radiation in a controlled and efficient manner using artificially structured surfaces, known as metasurfaces.

It is notoriously hard to make predictions in technology. Nevertheless, here goes my thoughts on the technology stories I expect will be prominent in 2023.

Ultra-low-power wireless chip equips wearables and Metaverse devices with all-day, real-time AI

Purdue University has announced that the Scalable Asymmetric Lifecycle Engagement (SCALE) microelectronics workforce development program will extend five years and expand with additional Department of Defense (DOD) funding of $10.8 million and a ceiling of $99 million.

Ixana, the wearable hardware company developing high-speed human-computer interfaces, today announced it has closed $3 million in seed funding and is backed by Uncorrelated Ventures, Samsung Next, Evonexus, Paradigm Shift and Hack VC.
