MSU receives $30M NSF grant to establish turbulence research center
Turbulence is all around us — in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the storms moving across the atmosphere and the plasmas inside experimental fusion devices. It’s the chaotic swirling motion of air, water, plasma and other fluids that plays an essential role in how energy moves, how pollutants and heat spread through the ocean and atmosphere, how fluids move through chemical processing plants and how plasmas behave in extreme environments.

Research Spotlight: Advanced simulation software to accelerate discoveries in natural sciences
Atoms, the fundamental building blocks of everything in nature, are both ubiquitous and mysterious. As such, advances in energy, material science and medicine rely on solving the mysteries of how the behavior of atoms changes in the presence of nuclear, chemical and electromagnetic forces. A research program headed by Metin Aktulga develops advanced simulation software for tracking matter atom by atom that’s fast, accurate and reliable enough to serve as a tool for scientific discovery.
Precision irrigation tools help farmers save water, energy and money
Michigan State University researchers are developing precision irrigation tools that help farmers make informed decisions, improve crop production and conserve water and energy.
July 2026 was among the driest on record across many parts of Michigan, according to National Weather Service data. When rainfall falls short, growers rely on irrigation to support their crops, making precise water use critical.
