Purdue University researchers in the colleges of Agriculture and Engineering have created agrivoltaic structures that optimize the amount of electricity generated by solar farms. The modules are mounted lower than traditional solar structures and rotate to form a near-vertical structure when farm equipment needs to pass. (Purdue University photo/Mitch Tuinstra) Innovative modules created at the […]

Stanton Gelvin (left), the Edwin Umbarger Distinguished Professor of Biology, and Lan-Ying Lee, research scientist, in the Department of Biological Sciences of Purdue University’s College of Science have developed Agrobacterium strains that deliver T-DNA to plants but do not integrate this DNA into the plant genome. The plants can still be modified to express valued […]
