A modified manufacturing process for electric vehicle batteries, developed by University of Michigan engineers, could enable high ranges and fast charging in cold weather, solving problems that are turning potential EV buyers away.
A smaller, lighter and more energy efficient computer, demonstrated at the University of Michigan, could help save weight and power for autonomous drones and rovers, with implications for autonomous vehicles more broadly.
Hydrogen has the potential to power internal combustion engines, including on-road and off-road vehicles and equipment, and large marine engines. Despite its promise to reduce climate change emissions such as carbon dioxide and harmful pollutants, hydrogen has largely remained underutilized in the United States. Officials at the University of Michigan and University of California, Riverside, along with several industry partners, are working to change that with the launch of the Hydrogen Engine Alliance of North America, or H2EA-NA. The alliance will promote hydrogen as a viable alternative fuel that can complement internal combustion engine, or ICE, vehicles while supporting the transition to electric and other zero emission technologies.
March 11 will mark five years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. University of Michigan experts look back on successes and failures in public health and medicine; discuss continued effects in education, business and society; and offer insights on how prepared we are for a future pandemic.
In an effort to bolster its research on next-generation mobility technologies that save lives, the University of Michigan is fusing its longstanding leadership in transportation safety with its distinct expertise in testing connected and automated vehicle technologies.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a major and sudden effect on all aspects of life, requiring children and their families to rapidly change their habits and adopt new behaviors to stay healthy.
Heat-resistant sensing and computing chips made of silicon carbide could advance aircraft, electric and gas-powered vehicles, renewable energy, defense and space exploration鈥攁nd University of Michigan researchers are leading a multimillion dollar collaborative effort to bring more of them to market.
Elementary school students improve their reading skills more quickly with an interactive, digital-learning platform than with conventional, pen-and-paper lessons, according to a study from the University of Michigan, Saginaw Valley State University and Ypsilanti Community Schools.
A quantum "miracle material" could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University of Regensburg and University of Michigan has shown.
A sponge-like implant in mice helped guide a treatment that slowed or stopped a degenerative condition similar to multiple sclerosis in humans. It also gave University of Michigan researchers a first look at how primary progressive multiple sclerosis, the fastest-progressing version of the disease, attacks the central nervous system early on.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has awarded Sloan Research Fellowships to two computer engineers from the University of Michigan's College of Engineering: Thatchaphol Saranurak and Andrew Owens.
Michigan Engineering professors Elizabeth Holm and Nicholas Kotov are among the newest members of the National Academy of Engineering鈥攐ne of the highest honors bestowed on engineers in the United States.
Vans equipped somewhere between a doctor's office and hospital, with an AI agent to guide medical generalists through unfamiliar diagnoses and procedures, could improve access to health care in rural areas.
While exploring how best to design robots that use tails to reorient their bodies in midair, a team of researchers at the University of Michigan and University of California San Diego found that mammals had already figured out how to do more with less.
OK, we admit, we're a long way from a carbon-free grid鈥攂ut when we have one, what's the most efficient way to use that energy to fly planes? This question is explored by an interactive tool built by a team of University of Michigan researchers.
More than a third of Detroit residents (36%) can't get from place to place in a safe or timely manner.
A brain-computer interface, surgically placed in a research participant with tetraplegia, paralysis in all four limbs, provided an unprecedented level of control over a virtual quadcopter鈥攋ust by thinking about moving his unresponsive fingers.
The first open-source digital twin of the Mcity Test Facility鈥攖he University of Michigan's test center for connected and autonomous vehicles and technologies鈥攊s now available to the public, giving researchers around the world a new free tool.
