  1. $7.5 million to predict and communicate flood risk

    Engineers, atmospheric scientists, psychologists and anthropologists team up to develop better flood predictions and ensure decision-makers can understand them.

  2. Kaleo Roberts awarded fellowship for remote sensing research that could aid crop management

    Roberts creates methods to better estimate the radar backscatter from corn fields, which could improve the accuracy of global biomass and soil moisture maps derived from radar observations.

  3. $9.7M for tools to improve forecasts of harmful space weather

    Better forecasting could protect astronauts and instruments from solar eruptions that release damaging, high-energy particles.

  4. Megastorms leave marks on Saturn’s atmosphere for hundreds of years

    Massive storms have appeared as “Great White Spots” on Saturn every 20 to 30 years since 1876. The impacts of those older storms have lasted in Saturn’s atmosphere for centuries.

  5. Electric aviation: Battery experts, aero entrepreneurs, state leaders and venture capitalists converge

    ‘Here, we have industry and expertise. Take that and combine it with belief—and magic happens.’

  6. U-M team that developed noninvasive surgical treatment to receive highest honor for innovation

    Established in 2007, the Distinguished University Innovator Award is the highest honor for U-M faculty members who have developed transformative ideas, processes or technologies and shepherded them to market for broad societal impact.

  7. Cracking in lithium-ion batteries speeds up electric vehicle charging

    Cracks in predominant lithium-ion electrodes shorten battery lifespans, but a neuroscience-inspired technique shows that they have an upside.

  8. Semiconductor workforce program increases access to hands-on training

    ‘In undergrad, you sometimes feel like you’re just passing classes. But what we’re doing here is science.’

    The post Semiconductor workforce program increases access to hands-on training appeared first on Michigan Engineering News.

  9. $7.5M to advance nuclear energy awarded to U-M

    The Department of Energy will support research into faster reactor licensing, just energy transitions, and more.

  10. New kind of superresolution explores cell division

    Interactions between structures at the nanoscale sync up with the way the whole cell contracts and expands during this vital process.
