M Research: News from the University of Michigan

Invisible Impact

Diseases that used to be common worldwide, such as polio and measles, can now be prevented through vaccines. So how do these vaccines work? Can they prevent all types of diseases? And why do some people refuse them altogether?

Visualizing Pain

Many patients cannot communicate about their pain. A pair of augmented reality glasses could someday help clinicians see and map patient pain in real-time.

The Rise of Rome

Romans are depicted as slashing and burning their way across countries to help secure their empire, but archaeological findings yield little evidence of warfare.

Screen Size Matters

If you get news from a smartphone, size matters. Heart rate variability drops and changes in sweat are muted when viewing news content on smaller screens.

Teach the Teachers

TeachingWorks aims to improve the quality of beginning teaching in the United States, while building resources that address educational inequities.

EpiPen for Trauma

An injection of nanoparticles can keep the body’s immune system from overreacting to trauma, and could prevent spinal cord injuries from resulting in paralysis.

Healthy Habits

New parents spend more money on fresh fruits and vegetables than before having children — a finding that could lead to interventions supporting healthy eating.

In Perspective
Supersonic Travel

Recent advances in technology and new trends in commercial air travel could make supersonic flight economically viable. But, as aerospace engineering Professor Iain Boyd points out, regulations will have to change first.
