A machine learning filter: AI’s role in safe public drinking water

Dr. Tao Ye, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering, received a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for his research on using AI to help make public drinking water safer. 

Lab gloves may be affecting microplastic research data

A University of Michigan study suggests that standard lab gloves that scientists use could be causing overestimation of microplastics levels. Researchers found that latex and nitrile gloves can transfer stearates onto lab tools, which are used to analyze water, air, and other environmental samples.

Midsommar: grief in broad daylight

In a picturesque, isolated village in Sweden called Harga where everything seems normal, Ari Aster crafts an unsettling horror film that is made to keep you uneasy.

NASA has launched its historic Artemis II mission

On April 1, 2026, the Orion spacecraft took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6:35 p.m. EDT to kick off NASA’s Artemis II mission: An approximately 10-day flight coursed to slingshot around the Moon and back, marking the first time humans have left Earth to travel to deep space since the series of U.S.
