Automation uncovers combinations of amino acids that feed two bacterial species and could tell us much more about the 90% of bacteria that humans have hardly studied.

AI could run a million microbial experiments per year

System developed at the University of Michigan saves time and money in the race to create better batteries for the electric vehicle revolution

New approach reduces EV battery testing time by 75 percent

A new algorithm efficiently determines optimal shapes for structures.

Calculating the best shapes for things to come

Algorithm allows 3-D printers to “read ahead” of their programming to boost speeds.

3D-printing gets a turbo boost from U-M technology
