Artificial Intelligence, or AI, promises to revolutionize how people work and nearly every aspect of life could be transformed — prompting lawmakers in an interim commerce committee to scrutinize the new technology and how to best regulate it.

"Space is the ultimate frontier," Porterfield said. "If we can build capabilities to live, explore, and extend our time spent there, we will eventually move towards colonization. But that all has to be based on agriculture." While working on his doctorate in the mid-1990s, Porterfield spent summers as a fellow at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, contributing to the Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) program. A decade-long initiative launched in 1985, CELSS sought to identify ways to support large crews throughout missions. Utilizing a leftover vertical chamber from the late 1950s built to test the Mercury capsule, NASA began to experiment with the concept of closed agriculture.

A recent study, led by Sabre Kais, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University, and IBM’s Barbara Jones, used a quantum computer to perform chemical calculations via perturbation theory. The science could potentially be used to solve quantum mechanics problems on a larger scale using perturbation theory.

Purdue University on Friday will mark the founding of its Manufacturing and Materials Research Laboratories (MMRL). The university said the effort brings together 10 faculty from different engineering disciplines to boost manufacturing research, funding and industry collaboration. Arvind Raman, the John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering at Purdue, said the MMRL will be an umbrella organization with experimental facilities for physical domain manufacturing. “This will allow us to have a stronger outward projection to industry partners and federal agencies and promote collaborations leading to federal funding, industry linkups and workforce development,” Raman said in a news release.

Research produces a ton of data. You may think researchers inherently know what to do with this data, but when it comes to big data, the scale of information is so vast that tackling it requires some training. That’s what the BigCare 2023 Summer Workshop aims to do – show cancer researchers how to use all that data, specifically by incorporating cyberinfrastructure resources into their work. This year, the 10-day workshop held at Purdue used ACCESS resource Anvil to support both the in-person and online workshops
