Faster, more sensitive lung cancer detection from a blood draw
Capturing nanoscale ‘packages’ that cancer cells send out, twisting gold nanoparticles use light to distinguish healthy patients from lung cancer patients.
-
This screen stores and displays encrypted images without electronics
It uses magnetic fields to display images at the same resolution as a squid’s color-changing skin.
-
Morphable materials: Researchers coax nanoparticles to reconfigure themselves
It’s a step toward smart coatings that change color—or other properties—on the fly.
-
$10.5M biomaterials center to connect researchers, fund innovation and fight resource discrimination
Building on a network of biomaterials researchers and the success of a seed grant effort, U-M and UW lead a new NIH-funded center
-
Nanoscale engineering brings light-twisting materials to more extreme settings
New manufacturing method builds tougher materials that were previously considered useless for twisting light into more robust optical devices.
-
Renewable grid: Recovering electricity from heat storage hits 44% efficiency
Thermophotovoltaics developed at U-M can recover significantly more energy stored in heat batteries.
-
2024 AAAS Fellows include three Michigan Engineering professors
The Michigan researchers are honored for trailblazing work in targeted drug delivery, self-assembling nanostructures and unraveling the mysteries of solar storms.
-
New reactor could save millions when making ingredients for plastics and rubber from natural gas
With oil production dropping, a process using natural gas is needed to avert a shortage of a workhorse chemical used for automotive parts, cleaning products and more.
