5 researchers using data, gen AI, policy analysis to shape mobility advancement
Autonomous vehicles promise to radically change the way people and goods travel. However, AVs won’t reach their full potential through engineering alone. The greatest breakthroughs will come from interdisciplinary teams solving complex challenges together. Michigan State University serves as a hub where experts across fields collaborate to advance mobility innovation.
Great Lakes Crystal Technologies: Advancing diamond tech for next-gen electronics
For decades, silicon has been the foundation of modern electronics because it is abundant, relatively affordable and well suited to the precise control of electrical current that makes computer chips possible. But today’s most advanced systems, from AI hardware to high-power and quantum technologies, are pushing silicon harder than ever, demanding more speed, more power and operation in hotter, harsher environments. As those demands grow, heat has become a major bottleneck: silicon remains essential, but it does not move heat nearly as well as diamond, making it harder to keep next-generation devices cool, compact and reliable.
Light-scattering technology boosts algae biomass production sixfold
Algae are increasingly being explored as sustainable “living factories” that can convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into renewable fuels, plastics, pharmaceuticals and other valuable products.
