“Our genetic code doesn’t actually include enough information to encode every detail of the organization process. We want to explore the mechanisms of collective behaviors without central coordination that are like birds flying in formation—in which the system is driven by interactions between individual parts,” Somin Eunice Lee Ph.D.

Researchers at University of Michigan developed a method to produce artificially grown miniature brains — called human brain organoids — free of animal cells that could greatly improve the way neurodegenerative conditions are studied and, eventually, treated.

Yoon-Tae Kang, former Innovation Fellow and member of Sunitha Nagrath’s lab, authored article published in Advanced Materials Technologies.

A newly discovered pinwheel structure — self-assembled from pyramid-shaped nanoparticles — may enable unique material properties that could be useful in areas like machine vision, armor, chemical and biological sensing, and more.

Developed in the VanEpps and Kotov labs, a new machine learning model that predicts interactions between nanoparticles and proteins.

Nick Kotov was named to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his significant contributions in scholarly and professional fields.

Collaborative research in the Aguilar lab showed how two of the body’s natural injury responders conflict following traumatic muscle injuries.

Developed by the Chestek lab, an electrode array implanted in the brain predicts finger motions in near real time.

The Tuteja lab publishes a new review in Science on liquid-repelling surfaces and coatings.

The tiny, implantable carbon fiber electrode developed jointly by Cindy Chestek and Tim Bruns shows promise as a long-term brain-computer interface.
