COUNTERING SLOW FAULTS: Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan researchers developed a new way to handle slow faults—when computing systems slow down rather than crashing outright. Adaptive Detection in Runtime (ADR) quickly detected slow faults and reduced performance degradation. bit.ly/4iSv0NU

Domenico Grasso will serve as the university's interim president, effective immediately. Admired for his visionary work leading UM-Dearborn as chancellor since 2018, President Grasso will provide steady leadership during this critical time of transition. myumi.ch/3RR3E

BETTER COMPUTER VISION: A new AI model outputs a classification tree—such as bird, eagle, bald eagle—rather than jumping straight to the specifics. It outperforms existing models by aligning fine-to-coarse predictions through intra-image segmentation. bit.ly/3SCC5r4

NEW: “Careful heating unlocks unprecedented sensitivity to pressure in semiconductor materials.” A simple and scalable annealing method boosts the quality of materials used in energy harvesting devices. bit.ly/4mmUuWH

NEW ARTICLE: “Off-road autonomy and digital twins: a Q&A with Bogdan Epureanu.” Going beyond driving or tele-operating single vehicles, an up-to-date digital environment is needed to help humans operate fleets of autonomous vehicles. bit.ly/3H1kqqE

NEW ARTICLE: “Maneuverable underwater vehicles inspired by golf balls.” A spherical prototype with “nimble dimples” can change its surface from smooth to dimpled, cutting through drag and generating lift. bit.ly/3F7E4Rk

NEW ARTICLE: “'Millennium' solar car to race in U-M team's first Australian winter.” The team's 18th car will be driving with less solar power than ever, but they are amped by a dream solar array system. bit.ly/45lq016

NEW ARTICLE: “AI isn’t just for computer science anymore: how engineers in every discipline are teaching it.” bit.ly/4kbUY0c

NEW ARTICLE: “A rule-breaking, colorful silicone that could conduct electricity.” Previously only thought to be insulating, a shift in the angle between silicon and oxygen atoms creates a highway for an electrical charge. bit.ly/4jBGt4N

The Office of the Vice President for Research will award eight research faculty members from across the University of Michigan for their leadership and significant contributions in their fields. myumi.ch/8qJnj

NERS Chair Todd Allen weighs in on the Meta-Constellation deal ⏬

Congrats to U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences PhD student Colleen Campbell and the Michigan Club Softball team on their 2025 NCSA World Series championship win!

NEW ARTICLE: “The US has a new most powerful laser.” Hitting 2 petawatts, the NSF-funded ZEUS facility at U-M enables research that could improve medicine, national security, materials science and more.

NEW ARTICLE: “Karen A. Thole receives prestigious award from ASME" For turning influential turbine research into a powerful educational platform, Thole has received the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ (ASME) 2025 Kate Gleason Award. bit.ly/43TtHZG

Digital twins are advancing rapidly in engineering with applications in areas including medicine, manufacturing and energy systems. Advancing digital engineering for today’s biggest challenges: news.engin.umich.edu/computational-…

NEW ARTICLE: “Explainable AI: New framework increases transparency in decision-making systems.” Achieving high interpretability and accuracy at a low computational cost, the technique can improve medical diagnostics with trustworthy AI. bit.ly/4mVflR3

NEW ARTICLE: “Clinically deployed AI guidance for preventing C. difficile spread.” The model produced patient risk scores, based on electronic health record data and location in the hospital, that were used to guide infection prevention. bit.ly/4l4m2OY

NEW ARTICLE: “AI generates data to help embodied agents ground language to 3D world.” The model trained on the synthetic dataset, 3D-GRAND, had higher grounding accuracy and hallucinated drastically less compared to their predecessors. bit.ly/3FCQcKn
