    The great drug alarm

    In 1967, a collective panic was rising over illicit drug use in American society. Just then, John C. Pollard, a scientist in the Medical School’s Mental Health Research Institute, made headlines for his research into the widespread use and abuse of consciousness-altering substances among young people.

    ‘Science is a team sport’

    Pediatric brain tumors are the leading cause of disease-related death in U.S. children and adolescents. When their son Samson survived his childhood diagnosis, alumni Kim Gilman and Jeff Gelfand began fundraising to advance scientific research. Their support has propelled a team of Michigan Medicine researchers, led by Maria Castro and Pedro Lowenstein, to achieve a significant milestone.

    Uncertainty around economic policies sinks consumer sentiment

    Consumer sentiment plummeted 12% in March, falling for the third straight month. While current economic conditions were little changed, the forward-looking expectations index plunged a precipitous 18% and has now lost more than 30% since November 2024, said economist Joanne Hsu, director of the University’s Surveys of Consumers.

  • Synchrotron in a closet

    For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics, and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to a study led by U-M engineers. The newly developed laboratory-scale, three-dimensional x-ray diffraction (Lab-3DXRD) opens up more opportunities for student use. (Image credit: Marcin Szczepanski, Michigan Engineering.)

  • Why a next-gen semiconductor doesn’t fall to pieces

    A new class of semiconductors that can store information in electric fields could enable computers that run on less power, sensors with quantum precision, and the conversion of signals between electrical, optical, and acoustic forms. But how they maintained two opposite electric polarizations in the same material was a mystery. Now, a team led by U-M engineers has discovered the reason why the materials, called wurtzite ferroelectric nitrides, don’t tear themselves apart.

  • Researchers unveil bacterial villain behind ‘potent toxin’

    In the warm summertime waters of Lake Erie, cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, can proliferate out of control, creating algal blooms that produce toxins at a rate that can harm wildlife and human health. Now, researchers have identified the organism responsible for producing the toxins: a type of cyanobacteria called Dolichospermum. (Satellite image of Lake Erie. Credit: NOAA Great Lakes Coast.)

  • Drug that treats flu shows additional benefit

    One dose of the antiviral baloxavir marboxil lowers the chance of transmitting the influenza virus to family members by about 30%, according to research in the New England Journal of Medicine. In a Phase III global trial of baloxavir marboxil (brand name Xofluza) led by U-M epidemiologist Arnold Monto, researchers found the drug significantly slowed the viral shedding that infects close contacts.

  • E-I-E-I-Omics: Genetics, corn, and more resilient crops

    By analyzing DNA from different cells in nearly 200 lines of maize plants, research led by the University of Michigan has revealed insights that could help growers better adapt their crops to a fast-changing environment. The new study, led by Alexandre Marand, reveals previously hidden information about the activity of genes inside different cell types. (Image credit: Alexandre Marand.)

  • Making desalination more eco-friendly

    Desalination plants, a major and growing source of freshwater in dry regions, could produce less harmful waste using electricity and new membranes made at U-M. The membranes could help desalination plants minimize or eliminate brine waste produced as a byproduct of turning seawater into drinking water.

  • How extreme weather threatens nature’s essential services

    How much will strawberry harvests shrink when extreme heat harms pollinators? How much will timber production decline when windstorms flatten forests? How much will recreational value disappear when large wildfires sweep through mountain towns? These are some critical questions that a new computer simulation, modeled at Michigan, is helping answer.
