Researchers working to increase algae growth for use in products
Great Lakes Echo
By Anna Barnes Researchers at Michigan State University say they've developed a way to more evenly distribute sunlight in algae cultivation systems, which leads to more algae growth that can be used for sustainable products.

Insects offer new hope in Michigan State University’s fight against forever chemicals

Insects offer new hope in Michigan State University’s fight against forever chemicals
Great Lakes Echo
Researchers at Michigan State University are exploring an unexpected new tool that could reshape how scientists detect so-called forever chemicals in lakes, rivers and wetlands across the Great Lakes. Scientists have discovered that locusts can sniff out PFAS contaminants down to parts per trillion, a level of detection far beyond most conventional sensors. The new […]
