Joseph Irudayaraj, assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering, worked with Sivakesava Sakhamuri, postdoctoral associate in agricultural and biological engineering, to develop a simple test to determine whether beet sugar invert had been added to honey. Although further testing is needed, initial tests show that their method, which uses spectroscopy, can detect as little as 1 percent beet sugar invert in one type of honey.

Green architecture
The Centre County/Penn State Visitor Center was built with the environment in mind. These large windows are on the north face of the building, to allow as much natural, northern light into the building as possible. The plantings in the foreground to the right are native to the central Pennsylvania region.
