In the last year, MSU and GVSU successfully launched a new mobility research initiative as part of a five-year research program to advance autonomous ground vehicle research.

Current EV batteries aren’t perfect, so at Michigan State University, we are using fundamental material science and new chemistry research to produce batteries with improved energy density and safety.

Michigan’s rivers and lakes were once cold enough that fish were protected from some infection-causing parasites. As the Great Lakes ecosystem warms, a Michigan State University researcher is investigating new pathogens that may become relevant to the fish that live here.

When Ben Orlando delivered a 2019 research talk at MSU’s Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, it set the stage for a collaborative breakthrough that was decades in the making.

As voters are evaluating the candidates in terms of their policies, some pundits have questioned how the identity of the candidates could impact their chance of winning over consideration of their party affiliation.

New research appearing in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B reveals that half of the mammal species in tropical forests adjust their behaviors in response to the moon’s phases and corresponding variations in light.

Civil engineers at Michigan State University have developed flexible concrete that is self-healing and produces heat, which could prove to be an environmentally friendly option for roads in terms of snow and ice removal.

Newly appointed Michigan State University AgBioResearch-affiliated scientists are diving deeper into the water story, working to better understand water movement and the human impact on it.

In a new international joint initiative, researchers led by Emilio Moran, a Hannah Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University, will not only work with Indigenous communities to document the numerous challenges they face from climate change but will also collaborate with these communities to explore their innovations for addressing sustainability, adaptation, and mitigation.

For nearly a century, scientists have waged war on antibiotic-resistant microbes. Michigan State University researchers say they’ve found a new way to prevent it – by unleashing “DNA scavengers” in wastewater treatment plants.

A team of MSU researchers has shown there’s “untapped potential” for ensuring that Michigan forests provide clean and abundant drinking water.

Researchers Berkley Walker and Hiroshi Maeda have been awarded a total of $1.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation to study how plants compensate when they “overspend” the carbon that they take in during photosynthesis.
