  • VideoCommunity force: How holistic program is changing Detroit one toddler at a time
    The toddlers arrive at the colorful stucco house with the bright orange door in the Martin Park neighborhood, take off their coats and seek out egg-shaped noise makers to shake. Davon'te, 3, loves visiting the Brilliant Detroit hub for weekly toddler activities, his mother Camillia Martin said. And her two... Read more »
  • Germ aversion impacted 2020 election voting behavior
    Voters opted to pick candidates in 2020 by mail-in ballots, avoiding poll sites due to COVID-19 concerns rather than because of political party efforts to promote specific voting methods, according to a new University of Michigan study.... Read more »
  • Grant supports tuition-free midwifery program at U-M for underserved areas
    Pregnant women in minority communities face a disproportionately higher risk of childbirth complications, with mortality rates approximately four times greater than those of their white counterparts. These disparities are exacerbated by instances of disrespectful maternity care that perpetuate existing inequities in access to quality health care.... Read more »
  • VideoBridge in a box: Unlocking origami’s power to produce load-bearing structures
    Foldable origami with thick panels opens a world of possibilities For the first time, load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules—versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes—University of Michigan engineers have demonstrated. It's an advance that could enable communities to quickly... Read more »
  • VideoBridging academic worlds with virtual production: U-M’s XR stage expands global education
    Imagine being a University of Michigan student or a learner anywhere in the world, logging on to an online course. Instead of seeing a talking head delivering a lecture, you see your instructor walking through ancient Cairo, in an operating room in Tokyo, or on a construction site in Rome.... Read more »
  • A wetter world recorded in Australian coral colony
    When climate scientists look to the future to determine what the effects of climate change may be, they use computer models to simulate potential outcomes such as how precipitation will change in a warming world. But University of Michigan scientists are looking at something a little more tangible: coral. Examining... Read more »
  • Explaining a supernova’s ‘string of pearls’
    Physicists often turn to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability to explain why fluid structures form in plasmas, but that may not be the full story when it comes to the ring of hydrogen clumps around supernova 1987A, research from the University of Michigan suggests.... Read more »

  • Virtual Peer Pressure: How Avatars Affect Our Moral Choices
    Researchers explored how group dynamics, including virtual avatars, impact individuals' moral judgments. The study revealed that participants often altered their opinions to align with those of a group, whether the pressure came from real individuals or AI-controlled avatars in a virtual environment....

  • Metformin in Pregnancy: Mixed Outcomes for Developing Brain
    A new study explored the effects of metformin, a common treatment for gestational diabetes, on offspring's brain development in a mouse model. While metformin benefits pregnant mothers with gestational diabetes, its impact on the children's brain development remains uncertain, with the study indicating no positive effects on the offspring....

  • Teens’ Transcendent Thinking Spurs Brain Growth
    Adolescents engaging in "transcendent thinking"—the practice of looking beyond the immediate context to understand deeper meanings and implications—can significantly influence their brain development. The study highlights how this complex form of thinking fosters coordination between the brain's executive control and default mode networks, crucial for psychological functioning.... Read more »
  • Rethinking Memory Decline
    Researchers reveal new findings on the complexity of age-related memory decline and neural dedifferentiation, challenging existing theories on cognitive aging. The study utilized functional MRI to compare brain activity patterns in young and older adults, revealing that age diminishes the brain's precision in processing visual information, with distinct mechanisms affecting...

  • Loneliness in Midlife: A Growing Gap Between US and Europe
    New research highlights a significant loneliness gap between middle-aged adults in the U.S. and their European counterparts, with Americans experiencing higher levels. The study utilized data from over 53,000 participants to explore loneliness trends across three generations, finding that U.S. adults report increasing loneliness, particularly among younger generations....

  • Brain’s Motivation Mechanics: How Hunger Drives Goal Pursuit
    Researchers unveiled how the brain's thalamus navigates hunger-driven motivation. Through innovative experiments with mice, the study explores the role of two distinct neuronal populations within the paraventricular nucleus (PVT), showing how they regulate actions towards achieving a goal, like foraging for food....

  • Exercise in a Pill? Breakthrough Mimics Workout Benefits
    Researchers are developing compounds that simulate the benefits of physical exercise, potentially offering new treatments for muscle atrophy, heart failure, and neurodegenerative diseases. The compound SLU-PP-332 and its derivatives activate key proteins involved in exercise-induced muscle growth and metabolism.... Read more »
