Engineers at Michigan State University have crafted a new type of liquid foam lining they say can help football helmets better sustain repeated impacts, improving their longevity and the safety of those wearing them.

Generally speaking, robotic "hands" vary between rigid devices with a firm grasp, and softer, gentler gadgets that are a bit wimpier. Now, however, scientists have created an appendage that they claim combines the best features of both.

We've seen flexible supercapacitor designs before, but how about one that's stretchable? A new discovery by researchers at Duke University and Michigan State University could lead to an excellent stretchable power source for wearable electronics.

Researchers claim to have created a transparent solar collector which is so clear that it could replace conventional glass in windows. Dubbed transparent luminescent solar concentrators, these devices may have the potential to turn any see-through surface into a solar energy collector.

Imagine mobile sensor networks that run around, jump and maneuver in the air to get the job done. That's just what Jianguo Zhao is working towards; his design for mobile sensor networks involves biologically-inspired sensors in the form of robots with little tails.

A robot fish developed at Michigan State University has detected crude oil at various sites in the Kalamazoo River.

Despite the bad press that gaming often gets, there is increasing evidence that it can have positive effects on kids.

Revolutionary new form of combustion engine

Software created at Michigan State University is capable of matching faces in police sketches to those in mug shots.
