The Lafayette Meteorite, a fragment from Mars found at Purdue University, has been dated to have undergone water alteration 742 million years ago, suggesting interaction with subsurface permafrost rather than surface water. This discovery provides insights into Mars' geologic activity and potential for life. The meteorite, ejected from Mars 11 million years ago, offers a unique glimpse into the planet's past, with research led by Purdue University and international collaborators.

A Mars meteorite, found in a Purdue University drawer in 1931, reveals evidence of water interaction on Mars 742 million years ago, likely due to volcanic activity melting subsurface ice. This discovery challenges the belief that Mars lost its liquid water over 3 billion years ago. The meteorite, named Lafayette, is a nakhlite type, possibly originating from near the Elysium Mons volcano. It was dated to have been exposed to cosmic rays 11 million years ago and likely fell to Earth around 1919, discovered by a Purdue student.

A meteorite found at Purdue University in 1931, known as the Lafayette meteorite, contains evidence of liquid water on Mars 742 million years ago. Recent research published in Geochemical Perspectives Letters suggests that the water likely originated from melting subsurface ice due to magmatic activity on Mars. The study used argon variations to date the minerals' formation, confirming that the meteorite's interaction with water occurred less than a billion years ago. This discovery not only sheds light on Mars' past but also offers a method to date alteration minerals in other meteorites.

Scientists have determined that the Lafayette Meteorite, a piece of Mars that landed on Earth, contains minerals formed by interaction with liquid water on Mars 742 million years ago. This discovery suggests that the water likely originated from melting subsurface ice due to magmatic activity. The research, led by Purdue University, provides a robust method for dating such interactions, offering insights into Mars' geologic past.

The pilot of the Purdue Aviation-owned plane that crashed into a field has been identified as 20-year-old Purdue student Alexander Foss, who was a junior majoring in professional flight. The cause of the crash has not been determined, and investigations by the FAA and the National Safety Transportation Board are ongoing. The plane, a 2002 Piper Warrior, disappeared from GPS tracking and crashed in a field north of Otterbein, Indiana. Despite the nighttime disappearance, Purdue Aviation did not report the missing plane until 18 hours later. Foss is believed to have died from blunt force injuries sustained during the crash.

A study by Purdue University has found that cooking on a gas stove can release nano-sized particles, posing a greater health risk than previously thought, with up to 100 times more dangerous particles than a car exhaust pipe. These particles can lead to an increased risk of asthma and other respiratory illnesses. The researchers recommend using exhaust fans while cooking and suggest that kitchen hoods that activate automatically could be a logical solution to reduce exposure to these indoor air pollutants.

A study by Purdue University found that cooking on gas stoves emits more nano-sized particles into the air than vehicles running on gas or diesel, potentially increasing the risk of respiratory illnesses. These tiny nanoparticles, called nanocluster aerosol, can reach deep into the respiratory system and spread to other organs. The study suggests using kitchen exhaust fans while cooking on gas stoves and highlights the need to consider nanocluster aerosol as a distinct air pollutant category. The research, conducted in a specially designed "tiny house" lab, revealed that adults and children could be breathing in 10-100 times more nanocluster aerosol from gas stove cooking indoors than from car exhaust while standing on a busy street.

Sameer Kamath, an Indian-origin doctoral student at Purdue University, was found dead at a nature preserve, with the coroner's office confirming that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. This marks the third student death to shock Purdue University in less than two years, following the recent discovery of Indian student Neel Acharya's body on campus and the 2022 murder of Varun Manish Chheda. The coroner's office emphasized that suicide is preventable and urged those in need to seek help from the National Suicide Hotline.
