Purdue did not release a cost for the center, which will be administered by a new not-for-profit consortium that includes Rolls-Royce North America. The project comes on top of two other new aerospace projects the school announced in recent days.
Indiana University ranked 53rd among universities for patents for invention last year, a jump in the rankings from previous years.
With the help of a $2.3 million grant, Purdue University animal science professor Shihuan Kuang’s research will continue in an effort to better understand the origin and function of these newly-discovered stem cells.
The partnership, which is expected to tackle several research projects per year, is aimed at strengthening the cybersecurity of Rolls-Royce’s products, which are used in civilian and military aircraft, nuclear power plants and other applications.
The Purdue team has created technology aimed at replacing the dots and dashes with colored digital characters to modernize optical storage. And that advancement might hit closer to home than you think.

Qingyou Han, 62, and his wife, Lu Shao, 54, were ordered to pay a combined $1.6 million in restitution after pleading guilty to using more that $1 million in federal research funds for their own personal expenses.
More and more of the work done by university researchers is being spun off into companies and commercial applications that they or the universities own or are a part of.
The model maps and highlights the brain structures—including cells, groups of cells or specific regions—and “the ongoing, overlapping series of ‘conversations’ between those structures,” the university said.
Once the tunnel is installed, Purdue will be only the second U.S. university to offer such hypersonics test capability.
The research found that heat pulled from a room can be sent into outer space, potentially negating some of the devastating effects of global warming.
The system searches the web for cameras that have been posted online and then saves image data and downloads videos roughly every 10 minutes. The program sends the data to cloud data centers to be analyzed through artificial intelligence with a high level of accuracy.
For companies that pursue technological advances and innovative solutions, bias can have an enduring impact, making it easy for the cycle to be perpetuated.
Indiana is positioning itself to be the epicenter for the latest generation of wireless technology, which experts say will be revolutionary.
