Mechanical engineers at the University of Michigan are tackling mysteries of bone density loss in space and on Earth.
System developed at the University of Michigan saves time and money in the race to create better batteries for the electric vehicle revolution.
Collaborative research team converges on cancer cell behavior that will lead to more effective therapies.
The global move to advanced materials and electric powertrains requires a re-evaluation of how we recycle vehicles.
U-M ME Professor Wei Lu and his student Hossein Rokni have released a paper in Nature Communications entitled “Direct measurements of interfacial adhesion in 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures in ambient air.
U-M ME PhD Student, Jeffrey Smith, and Professor Don Siegel have a paper titled, “Low-temperature paddlewheel effect in glassy solid electrolytes,” published in Nature Communications.
ME Professors Edgar Meyhofer and Pramod Reddy have shown for the first time how a nanoscale thermal switch can be built by employing nanoscale effects that arise when heat is transferred between a hot and cold nanoscale-thick membrane via thermal radiation.
“Our goal is to identify solar-powered wastewater nitrate treatment pathways that facilitate the recovery of energy by producing value-added chemicals from these nutrients,” said Bala Chandran. The work is funded by Bala Chandran’s startup funds and MCubed, a University initiative to encourage innovative, interdisciplinary research. The project marries fundamental materials-scale catalysis, physics-based modeling, and experimental investigations.
Activity trackers, smart watches, glucose monitors, and other wearable biosensor technology are a growing part of our lives. Now, ME Research Associate Professor Mihaela Banu is putting her research where our mouths are, with a collaborative initiative to develop a new smart, cyber-physical dental implant system.
