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.

Reactive Ideas: The Chemistry Behind Next-Gen Materials
Michael Hickner is creating new materials at Michigan State University to improve energy and water technologies. As the Craig A. Rogerson Endowed Professor in Chemical Engineering, he uses polymer science and materials to solve engineering problems by applying the tools of chemistry and chemical engineering.
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.
New tools at MSU are helping engineer the future of medicine
Diagnosing and treating disease is often a long and uncertain process. Symptoms can take years to explain, therapies may not work the same way for every patient, and doctors frequently lack tools that reveal what’s happening inside the body early enough to change outcomes.
