Wealthy countries are able to find synergies between climate action and other development goals, and while this is possible for low- and middle-income countries as well, the barriers to those kinds of investments are higher. Access to financial support as well as resources to help design and implement these high-payoff strategies are key to ensuring a just energy transition.

As part of the 2026 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), Dr. André Green will give a free, public talk titled, “Making a Migratory Monarch.” Green is an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Michigan who studies the unique features of monarch butterfly migration.

On July 8 at 6:00 PM, communities across the world will simultaneously read the Declaration of Independence aloud — marking the exact date of its first public reading in 1776. Americans in all 50 States and 16 Territories of the United States will read the Declaration of Independence as part of 'Sharing the Spirit of America.' At the University of Michigan, the event will take place on the Diag (inclement weather location TBA).

Michigan Engineering is on the vanguard of the next infrastructure revolution The first constellation to produce high-quality data by picking up GPS microwaves reflecting off the Earth called CYGNSS is featured in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s RTX Living in the Space Age exhibit, which opens today.

Silicon in EV battery electrodes can store 10x more lithium than graphite, but running it at the wrong temperature can cut its lifetime in half. Once treated as a fixed cutoff, the battery charge levels below which silicon works hardest can actually shift up or down as the battery ages, University of Michigan Engineering researchers found using routine charging data.

Recent studies have shown that large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Gemini exhibit remarkable zero-shot generalization, allowing them to perform novel tasks via prompting alone, without task-specific retraining. Specifically, they can recognize and apply a pattern in a series of consistently-formatted prompts, an ability called in-context learning (ICL).

June 30, 2026 Leads design and production of one-of-a-kind wooden boats that bring world-class craftspeople to Boyne, Mich., supporting the local economy and spreading Michigan-made artisanship around the globe. Oversees a shop where nearly every component — hulls, metal fittings, electrical systems — is made in-house and master boat-builders train the next generation Ben Van Dam at Boyne City Marina.

June 29, 2026 PHOTOS BY: University of Michigan Engineering is designing wave energy converters using feedback from residents on Beaver Island, a remote island community in Lake Michigan. The researchers hope the prototypes can provide emergency lighting to the island’s airport, which is essential for moving mail, supplies and people to and from the island. By advancing wave energy, the researchers hope to improve energy independence and security for the island and nation.
