High-voltage, solid-state lithium-ion batteries are the go-to power source for high-end technologies like electric and hybrid vehicles, wearable devices, pacemakers, radio-frequency identification systems and more. One of their most dramatic drawbacks is that they often explode when damaged. A team led by Vilas Pol, a Purdue professor in the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, has developed a new composite material that is safer to use in those batteries than traditional solid polymer electrolyte, or SPE, technologies.

Fluid dynamics researchers use many techniques to study turbulent flows like ocean currents or the swirling atmosphere of other planets. Mechanical engineering professor Arezoo Adrekani's team has discovered that a mathematical construct used in these fields provides valuable information about stress in complex flow geometries. Ardekani is looking forward to how experimentalists will use the technique in the lab and in the real world.

During our recent rainstorms, Natalie Zimmermann (School of Aviation and Transportation Technology) was one of the last people still in the NISW building at around 8 p.m. She discovered a roof leak in one of the NISW computer labs, and the water leak was at risk of damaging the computers. She found buckets and rags to contain the water leak and successfully prevented multiple computers from water damage. Thank you, Natalie! – Peng Hao Wang (School of Aviation and Transportation Technology)
