Ongoing research at MSU promises the catalytic synthesis of a polymer with intrinsically high conductivity, with a variety of potential commercial applications.

Method for making conductive, nanocrystalline diamond potentially used as a non-toxic electrode for electroanalysis applications.

This technology consists of unique indolazepine derivatives that inhibit NF-kB and cyclin-dependent kinases and have potential anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity. The invention describes the synthesis and demonstration of in vitro biological activity of these compounds.

This invention provides a method and handheld device for rapidly detecting microorganisms based upon a change of impedance as a result of the microorganism being bound between spaced interdigitated electrodes.

The technology includes composites and methods for making the compositions to provide a metal matrix with dispersed inorganic oxide particles and a surface of a bound organofunctional group. The result is sub-micron reinforcement for solder which allows a superior service life especially in microelectronics.

Novel multi-substituted imidazolines that exhibit anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and chemotherapy potentiator activity as well as autoimmune disease and organ-rejection-inhibition application.

A highly sensitive nano-scale piezoelectric force sensor can be used to measure contact force and its rate of change on nano-objects, promising an advancement in micromanipulation and microassembly technology.

Method of fluid injection and retrieval that is intended to improve the performance of bioreactor landfills.

This invention provides a method for both expressing and confining desired transgenic traits to only targeted plants.

This invention provides a process for making biocomposites of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) with fibers with the use of anhydride grafted PHAs (PHAs bearing anhydride groups) as compatibilizers. The fibers react with the grafted PHAs. The invention yields PHA composites with improved performance and processing characteristics.
