A team of researchers at the U of M have revived an ancient medical treatment to address a severe gastrointestinal illness and have developed ways to standardize the procedure.

University researchers are on the cutting edge of a novel process that harnesses natural bacteria to purify water contaminated by hydrofracking—the process of pumping water underground to open up ancient stores of natural gas and oil.

What do disease early detection, rare-earth-free magnets and massive information storage and processing all have in common? Magnetic materials could be instrumental in a new wave of solutions in these areas.

Mechanical engineering professor Durfee and his team are leading a project through the seven-university Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power to design the first untethered, lightweight, hydraulic-powered ankle orthosis that will power up human motion.
