It’s no secret that students in high schools across the nation struggle with learning science, even those with extensive resources and support. But students living in the U.S. rural South — where one in six live below the poverty line — face even more barriers to learning science.

Researchers are using drones, phones and a cryogenic wave tank to learn more about freshwater coasts.

Newly published research from Michigan State University shows how evaluating historical crop yields across distinct areas of agricultural fields can provide farmers with essential information on soil health characteristics and carbon sequestration.

With recent developments in generative AI, five faculty from the Colleges of Education and Natural Science presented a series of flash talks that explore ways AI can enhance learning environments and education research.

Michigan State University researchers have discovered that honeybees can detect biomarkers or chemical concentrations associated with lung cancer in human breath. The researchers have also shown that the honeybees can distinguish between different lung cancer cell types using only the ‘smell’ of the cell cultures. These findings could be used as a model for developing new tests to diagnose lung cancer early.

The K500 Chip Testing Facility at FRIB will help meet the current national shortfall of testing capacity for advanced microelectronics, including those used for commercial spaceflight, wireless technology, and autonomous vehicles.

Spartan researchers are participating in the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5), a subgroup within the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP), which is advancing U.S. particle physics research.

Michigan State University scholars from the CREATE for STEM Institute will use a $1.9 million grant from the Institute of Education Sciences to reimagine how energy is taught in high school physics courses.
