Research led by the University of Michigan generated a record 580 new inventions last year and launched 25 startup companies ranging in scope from innovative therapies for the treatment of fibrosis to technologies that aid in substance abuse monitoring.

Researchers seek to provide insights and learnings around sweat loss and maximum oxygen consumption for runners by leveraging Galaxy Watch features.

In the U.S. and other western countries, a form of esophageal and stomach cancer has risen dramatically over the last five decades. Now a new artificial intelligence tool can accurately predict these forms of cancer at least three years prior to a diagnosis.

Machine learning points out why antibodies fail to stay on target and suggests better designs. Biotech is an ideal use of AI, experts say, as companies increasingly use it to optimize the next-generation of therapeutic antibodies.

Rather than being solely detrimental, cracks in the positive electrode of lithium-ion batteries reduce battery charge time, a U-M research team reports. This runs counter to the view of many manufacturers, who try to minimize cracking because it decreases battery longevity.

With applications in transportation, energy, health care and more, the center includes African universities and creates opportunities for overlooked talent in the U.S.

Professor Omar Ahmed’s lab explores how running, dreaming, and sleep are informed by communication between the left and right brain hemispheres.

U-M medical researchers are probing the healing power of 1960s-era hallucinogenic drugs to develop revolutionary treatments for chronic pain, depression, anxiety, psychiatric disorders, and other medical conditions.

The Extremely Large Telescope (or ELT) could change everything we know about the universe — including how the first galaxies were created and where life on other planets may exist. And U-M is the only U.S. university involved in helping develop it.
