This Curvy Quantum Physics Discovery Could Revolutionize Our Understanding of Reality
A recent discovery in the field of quantum physics by researchers at Purdue University has opened the doorway to a whole new way of looking at our physical reality. According to the researchers involved, an all-new technique that can allow the creation of curved surfaces that behave like flat ones may completely revolutionize our understanding of curvature and distance, as well as our knowledge of quantum physics. The team is led by Dr. Qi Zhou, of Purdue Physics and Astronomy.

Purdue professor to study images from new space telescope
INSIDE INDIANA BUSINESS — An assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Purdue University says the images released this week from the the James Webb Space Telescope represent a new era in space exploration. Danny Milisavljevic, is leading a team of dozens who will study images produced by the JWST, including the supernova Cassiopeia A.
Purdue scientists already compared the quality of the James Webb Space Telescope to Hubble, and the results are insane
WTHR — The JWST's first image revealed details of a faraway galaxy cluster. A Purdue astrophysicist slated to study images from the telescope said this is just the start.
