Some of the most impactful technologies often aren’t the ones you see. They seamlessly make their way into our day, making life safer, healthier and more sustainable.

At Michigan State University, a top 40 U.S. university for its number of utility patents, Spartan researchers are designing and delivering those very innovations. As a result of years of work, they’re improving health care outcomes, creating more sustainable packaging, making artificial intelligence more accessible for all, and advancing the nation’s semiconductor and aerospace infrastructure.

These efforts would not be possible without funding from federal agencies and other sources. With funding from agencies like the U.S. Department of Energy and National Science Foundation and others, Spartans are developing technologies that power a stronger Michigan, a more accessible society and a better quality of life for Americans.
