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.

The 2020 Indy 500 had no fans in the stands.

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.

Is it possible to read a person’s mind by analyzing the electric signals from the brain? The answer may be much more complex than most people think.

Purdue University researchers – working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and neuroscience – say a prominent dataset used to try to answer this question is confounded, and therefore many eye-popping findings that were based on this dataset and received high-profile recognition are false after all.

During a recent study, a Purdue University innovator developed a new approach to creating popular thin films that are used for devices across a broad range of fields, including optics, acoustics, and electronics.

Epitaxial lithium niobate (LNO) thin films are an attractive material for electronics and other devices. These films offer flexibility and other properties that are important to manufacturers.

To accelerate advances in quantum computing, Sandia National Laboratories has made its Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed (QSCOUT), available to the scientific community.

An open platform, QSCOUT will not only give researchers access to full specifications and control for exploring all high-level quantum and classical processes, but it will also allow them to optimize the internals of the testbed and experiment with more advanced implementations of quantum operations, Sandia officials said.

Purdue University engineers are building a probabilistic computer that would not need new hardware or extreme cold to operate.

The team believes it could solve some of the problems a quantum computer would solve, such as calculating the best solution from a very large number of solutions. In one logistics example, that could be the best route for goods to travel to market.

Purdue University says engineers there have made progress on a new switch designed to enable a quantum internet supporting quantum computers of the future.

Purdue University innovators have created technology aimed at replacing Morse code with colored “digital characters” to modernize optical storage. They are confident the advancement will help with the explosion of remote data storage during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
