WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Taking the theme “We Are Purdue,” the eighth annual Purdue Day of Giving surged past last year’s $42.2 million total to raise $52.5 million, through 25,219 gifts, toward the small steps and giant leaps that make Purdue University an engine of innovation and impact.
This year’s giving day (Wednesday, April 28) followed just seven months after last year’s, which was postponed to September 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 fundraising event extended the university’s tradition of topping the previous year’s contributions, set a Purdue record for number of gifts made and brought Purdue Day of Giving’s cumulative total, since 2014, to $241.5 million.

Researchers Develop Pure Silicon Multiplexer for Terahertz-Range Communications
Written by AZoOpticsApr 30 2021
A new multiplexer has now been created from pure silicon for terahertz-range communications in the 300-GHz band. The feat was achieved by a collaboration of scientists from Osaka University, Japan, and the University of Adelaide, Australia.

In order to control the great spectral bandwidth of terahertz waves, a multiplexer, which is used to split and join signals, is critical for dividing the information into manageable chunks that can be more easily processed and so can be transmitted faster from one device to another.

Disrupted sleep is linked to increased risk of death, particularly in women
For the first time, a study has shown a clear link between the frequency and duration of unconscious wakefulness during night-time sleep and an increased risk of dying from diseases of the heart and blood vessels, and death from any cause, particularly in women.
In a collaboration between a team led by Associate Professor Mathias Baumert from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Adelaide and Associate Professor Dominik Linz at Maastricht University Medical Center (The Netherlands), the study of 8001 men and women found that women who experienced unconscious wakefulness most often and for longer periods of time had nearly double the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease during an average of between 6 and 11 years’ follow-up, when compared to the risk in general female population.
