University of Michigan

University of Michigan researchers have been exploring how ultrasound can combine with the body's immune defenses to take out tumors through a one-two punch, with a new study on rodents returning some highly promising results.

Peanut allergies can be very serious, potentially resulting in life-threatening anaphylaxis. There could be new hope for eliminating such allergies, however, thanks to the use of peanut-packin' microneedles.

What is your pre-bedtime routine? Across a series of robust mouse experiments a new study is shedding light on what goes on in the brain before sleep and how those pre-sleep behaviors directly activate parts of the brain that help initiate sleep.

A new study has shown how targeting an enzyme within fat cells can alter sensitivity to leptin – a hormone that plays a key role in appetite regulation – and in turn drive rapid weight loss in obese mice, while also improving overall metabolic health.

With the capacity to store up to five times the energy of lithium-ion solutions, researchers have a keen interest in lithium-sulfur batteries, and a team at the University of Michigan has taken a step toward realizing their real-world potential.

A new computer processor called Morpheus thwarts hackers by randomly changing its microarchitecture every few milliseconds. The puzzling processor has now aced major tests, repelling hundreds of professional hackers in a DARPA security challenge.

Scientists have now demonstrated a new type of artificial photosynthesis technology that can not only produce clean hydrogen fuel, but undergo morphological changes during use that makes it become more efficient over time.

A student-built CubeSat will investigate whether satellites can be maintained in low Earth orbit without thrusters or propellant. The Miniature Tether Electrodynamics Experiment-1will test using the Earth's magnetic field to generate thrust.

Decades of overuse means bacteria are quickly developing resistance to antibiotics. A new study has found that an FDA-approved drug can act as an "anti-antibiotic,” reducing the development of drug resistance when taken alongside an antibiotic.

Examination of noise pollution data before and then during the stay-at-home and social distancing orders implemented in response to the coronavirus pandemic has shown that people’s average exposure to environmental noise dropped by nearly half.

Researchers have developed a kind of electronic “invisible ink” that can alert users to unauthorized tampering with a device. When the chip is exposed to light it will erase information printed on it, making it clear that someone’s opened the box.

Scientists have demonstrated a multifunctional battery that doubles as the structural material of a scorpion-shaped robot. They estimate this technology could provide future robots with as much as 72 times the power of current configurations.
