East Lansing, Mich. — To see the future of how buildings are constructed in both Michigan and the U.S., you don’t have to travel far from Michigan State University. In fact, visit its campus and check out the newly built STEM Teaching and Learning Facility. Opened in 2021 on the corner of North Shaw Lane and Red Cedar …
Particle physics is kind of like an eclipse or a meteor shower. They aren’t things we tend to think about until they’re unfolding in front of our eyes. When they are, though, they captivate our imaginations. Over the last 20 years, particle physics has generated some of science’s most memorable headlines, including the discovery of …
“As a Parkinson’s disease neurobiologist, I am trying to uncover causes of Parkinson’s as well as potential treatments to slow or halt the disease,” says Caryl E. Sortwell, Ph.D., Professor of Translational Neuroscience, Department of Translational Neuroscience, in the MSU College of Human Medicine. She also studies ways to optimize the efficacy of therapies that …
In this post we look at a community request: PFAS compounds. Science evolves as research and evidence grow to help us determine the safety of an ingredient, contaminant, or technology. However, headlines around ingredient safety are often faster than the research concluding an ingredient’s harm or safety profile. We may not immediately know if a …
In collaboration with MSU’s faculty and researchers, MSU Technologies’ role as the technology transfer arm of Michigan State University is to license and advance inventions and copyrightable materials originating from the university. Developed in 2010 to help students develop valuable skills in university tech transfer, the MSU Technologies Internship program provides students with practical experience …
Timothy Miles, an assistant professor in MSU’s Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, is teaming up with researchers across the U.S. to further study management of Anthracnose and Botrytis fruit rot in blueberries. East Lansing, Mich. — A scientist at Michigan State University has received a $3.95 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture …
Remarkable research projects that focus on food, fuel & fiber are underway at the Michigan State University AgBio Innovation Hub — but not for long. Many of these innovative projects that are funded by the Michigan Translational Research & Commercialization (MTRAC) program and MSU will likely move from the lab to the marketplace in the …
Research Roundup: robotic harvesting, cleaner water, and more The College of Engineering is among Michigan State University’s top producers of research discoveries and commercialization that help build a diversified economy and generate jobs for Michigan and the region. Highlights of some of the college’s newest research grants and gifts, which total $11.5 million, are here: …
The movement of electrons across wires is what allows us to use electricity every day. Biological nanowires, microscopic wires made of proteins, have caught researchers’ attention for their ability to carry electrons over long distances. In a recent study published in Small by the Vermaas lab at the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory, researchers expand our understanding of biological nanowires through …
