In a breakthrough for the snack food industry, a team of scientists led by Michigan State University professors Jiming Jiang and David Douches has discovered a key mechanism behind the darkening and potential health concerns associated with cold-stored potatoes. 

Cyanobacteria are little green microorganisms that photosynthesize, like plants and algae do, but with stark differences in how they function.

Throughout the state, several lakeshores have temporarily closed, often due to E. coli contamination and Joan Rose says the source of some of that contamination is human waste from septic tanks.

Thanks to advancements in the development of patented synthetic human-like hearts first created at Michigan State, researchers can study human heart development and congenital heart disease on highly accurate models.

In creating five new isotopes, an international research team working at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, at Michigan State University has brought the stars closer to Earth.

As artificial intelligence technology advances, one area lags behind: voice-activated AI. For the more than 80 million people who stutter, voice AI technologies, which are increasingly being used in job hiring practices, can still be impossible to navigate.

A team of Michigan State University scientists has unveiled a potential game-changer in the fight against glioblastoma, the most common and currently incurable form of brain cancer.

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.
