Cobalt complexes-based self-oscillating gels will become promising material for creation of actuators
Scientific Project Lomonosov

Scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University for the first time obtained cobalt complexes-based self-oscillating gels. Such gels can occasionally change their geometric parameters, thanks to that they can be used for creation of chemomechanical materials, that transform chemical energy into the energy of mechanical oscillations. The emergence of propagating chemical waves inside such gels enables to use material for creation of devices, processing information using cooperation of chemical waves. Results of the research are published in magazine Gels.

Professor Dana Muir’s Research Cited in Senate Investigation on Financial Advisor Ethics and Responsibility
University of Michigan Ross School of Business

A recent U.S. Senate investigation into financial advisors' responsibilities, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, highlights significant conflicts of interest in some financial advisor and client relationships. The report raises questions about fiduciary responsibility and whether some financial advisors prioritize their profits over the best interests of their clients. Dana Muir, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Business Law, is an expert on fiduciary and remedial issues, and her research was cited in the report.

MSU Research Advances Infusion Designed to Clean Arteries
Michigan State University

Inflammation of the arteries is a primary precursor and driver of cardiovascular disease — the No. 1 killer of people in the United States. This inflammation is associated with the buildup of dangerous plaque inside the arteries. Advanced treatments are needed to target this inflammation in patients. Michigan State University researchers have tested a new nanoparticle nanotherapy infusion that precisely targets inflammation and activates the immune system to help clear out arterial plaque.

3D Printing One of the Strongest Stainless Steels
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Researchers have developed a way to consistently produce 17-4 PH stainless steel using additive manufacturing, or 3D printing. The rapid change in temperatures that occur in these materials after they are heated by the lasers in 3D printers make it difficult to achieve the toughness needed for 17-4 PH steel. This research used bright X-ray beams to observe those fast changes in real time, then altered the chemical composition to compensate for them.
