Spartan science protects the water we depend on
Water is one of our planet’s most vital resources — essential for life, food production, energy and industry. But it’s facing serious threats from pollution, changes in climate and overuse. Addressing these complex challenges requires collaboration across many fields of research and practice, and at Michigan State University, researchers are doing just that.
Ask the expert: Is your home at risk of a house fire?
Every day 944 house fires occur in the United States. Fires in the home are common and can spread quickly once they start, causing substantial structural, physical and emotional damage.
Student view: MSU made math compute for me
My Michigan State University story starts in the summer of 2022, when I was a third-year math major at Virginia Tech, curious about how computer science could be applied in the real world. A friend from MSU recommended I apply to the Engineering Summer Undergraduate Research Experience program and that’s how I found myself in East Lansing that May.
MSU researchers develop wood-based-based material that improves safety and life of lithium-ion batteries
For consumers worried about the risks associated with using lithium-ion batteries —which are used in everything from phones to laptops to electric vehicles — Michigan State University has discovered that a natural material found in wood can improve battery safety while also improving the battery’s life.
