New Method To Better Predict US Cropland Nitrous Oxide Emissions
A team of Michigan State University researchers has developed a groundbreaking machine learning system capable of predicting nitrous oxide emissions from U.S. croplands with unprecedented accuracy, a finding with valuable implications for national greenhouse gas accounting and mitigation.
Report Finds Anti-Counterfeit Warnings Can Backfire
A new report from Michigan State University shows that anti-counterfeiting messages can backfire if people feel their freedom to choose a product is being threatened. When that happens, they often tune out the message, and efforts to change their buying habits don’t work.
Even Virtual Audiences Can Trigger Stress in Public Speakers, Study Finds
New MSU research shows that virtual audiences can trigger real stress responses in public speakers. Even computer-generated avatars displaying negative feedback caused measurable increases in anxiety and physiological reactions.
New Microrobots Could Reduce Patient Risks, Speed Healing
MSU researchers have developed microscopic “TriMag” robots that could make medical treatments more precise and less invasive. The tiny devices can be guided through the body to deliver targeted therapies and destroy tumor cells.
How Cocaine Rewires the Brain To Drive Relapse
When a cocaine addict relapses, it isn’t a matter of personal failure — it’s the biological result of their brain’s rewiring, new research finds. Scientists found that cocaine changes how the hippocampus functions, contributing to the compulsion to seek out the drug.
Research Sheds New Light on Genetic Causes of Infertility
For years, most fertility research has focused on the embryo. But new research from Michigan State University and Rutgers Health suggests that the health of the uterus itself may be a key part of the puzzle.
