Despite lithium-ion (Li) batteries’ role as one of the most widely used forms of energy storage, they struggle to operate at full power in low temperatures and sometimes even explode at high temperatures.

For Michigan’s farmers, fall harvest is both the culmination of a year’s work and one of its most demanding stretches. Long hours, unpredictable weather and financial uncertainty can take a toll.

David MacFarlane, a professor of measurements and modeling in the Department of Forestry at Michigan State University, recently completed a six-month sabbatical that took him from the mangrove coasts of Mexico to the alpine forests of Italy.

New research shows that crops like maize and wheat, which depend on recycled rainfall, are more vulnerable to drought. 

Climate change is changing the size of fishes in Michigan’s inland lakes, leaving the young and old of many species more vulnerable to predation.

A new study co-led by Newcastle University highlights how sand mining is endangering the normal functioning of the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.

Using single particle spectroscopy, researchers from the Squires Lab revealed molecular insights into how different types of photosynthetic bacteria can use a shared mechanism to protect themselves from too much sunlight.

New study reveals underestimation of carbon uptake in rivers in arid areas, with global implications.

A new study published in the journal, Environmental Research Letters, reports that cooling the planet by injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere—a proposed climate intervention technique—could reduce the nutritional value of the world’s crops.

The breakthrough for creation of transgenic and gene-edited crops without tissue culture was forged by the Institute of Genomics for Crop Abiotic Stress Tolerance.
