Researchers at the Purdue Applied Research Institute are developing additive manufacturing processing methods to 3D-print dark ceramics — materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of hypersonic flight — into complex shapes for hypersonic vehicle components. The goal is to 3D-print these components at scale to improve efficiency and performance.
Purdue women’s basketball, golf, tennis, track and field/cross country, swimming and diving, and volleyball all celebrated their charter seasons in the 1975-76 academic year. Half a century later, thousands of Boilermaker women athletes have left their impact on West Lafayette, setting a standard for young girls all over the state, country and world to live up to.
