Grain-level micromechanical modeling and assessment of fatigue-critical pores using graph neural networks
May 25, 2026
Fatigue assessment is essential for the insertion of new materials and manufacturing processes into engineering applications, yet experimental testing is costly and time-consuming, and while crystal plasticity (CP) captures microstructure-sensitive fatigue mechanisms, it remains computationally expensive
Specific Ion Effects of Chaotropic and Superchaotropic Anions Probed by Raman Hydration-Shell Spectroscopy
May 22, 2026
Chaotropic ions enhance protein solubility and the associated Hofmeister effects are widely used in biotechnology and materials science. However, the characterization of the recently discovered class of superchaotropic borate cluster anions remains incomplete, limiting their rational application.

Scientists discover strange link between vitamin D and pain
May 19, 2026
Low vitamin D levels could be quietly making breast cancer surgery recovery far more painful. In a new study, patients deficient in vitamin D were three times more likely to experience moderate to severe pain after mastectomy surgery and ended up using significantly more opioid medication to cope. Researchers say vitamin D may help regulate how the body processes pain through its effects on inflammation and the immune system.
Your next burger might be thanks to a dairy cow
May 18, 2026
Even if you don’t know much about beef or dairy production, if you imagine a ranch or a milking barn, you probably picture different cattle breeds. A shiny Black Angus makes a great steak, whereas a black and white Holstein produces creamy milk.
Purdue Launches Comprehensive Quantum Degrees Program
May 15, 2026
Quantum technologies, which harness nature at the tiniest scales, hold the potential to transform how people compute, communicate and sense their environments. Critical areas that could benefit from emerging quantum technology include AI design of new functional materials for safer and cheaper consumer products, therapeutic drug development, cybersecurity, and deployment of sensors with extreme sensitivity and spatial resolution.
3 Boilermakers named Goldwater Scholars
May 14, 2026
Purdue juniors Charles Behrman, Shreya Krishnan and Ishaan Singh have been named recipients of the 2026 Barry Goldwater Scholarship. The award is the nation’s premier undergraduate scholarship for students studying the natural sciences, engineering and mathematics. Presented by the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation, the scholarship offers up to $7,500 toward tuition and fees to sophomores and juniors. The goal of the Goldwater Scholarship is to provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians and engineers wishing to pursue research careers in these fields.
