Elissa Welle, Graduate Student Research Assistant in Biomedical Engineering, sharpens 6.8um diameter strands of carbon fiber electrodes using a 3mm diameter butane flame blowtorch at Professor Cindy Chestek’s Cortical Neural Prosthetics lab inside North Campus Research Center in Ann Arbor, MI on Friday June 11, 2021.
The carbon fibers are originally cylindrical wires with a flat end but are made sharp through the heat of the butane flame. The rest of the array, composed of medical-grade silicone, a polyimide printed circuit board, four 50-um diameter wires, and an Omnetics connector, is kept safely under the water, which acts as a flame retardant. Once sharp, the electrodes insert easily into lots of different types of biological tissue - nerves, the brain, the dorsal root ganglia - that typical flat-ended wires cannot penetrate.

Zhen Xu, Graduate Student Research Assistant for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (left) and Dehui Zhang, Graduate Student Research Assistant for Electrical & Computer Engineering measuring focal stack images of a point object simulated by focusing a green laser beam onto a graphene-based transparent photodetector array inside Ted Norris’ lab on North Campus in Ann Arbor, MI on January 27, 2021.
Graphene detectors produce surprisingly high photoresponse while only absorbing a very small portion of light. U-M researchers are fabricating a prototype of transparent photodetector arrays to demonstrate its potential applications in 3D object tracking tasks used most commonly in autonomous driving and robotics.

Chenghang Liu (left), Civil Engineering Undergraduate Environmental Engineering with CEE Professor Dimitrios Zekkos and Graduate Student Research Assistant in Civil and Environmental Engineering Cassandra Chamnpagne take readings using data collected from various flux chambers located throughout a landfill in Midland, MI. on October 16, 2018.
These flux chambers, designed and operated by CEE Graduate Student Research Assistant Gabriel Draughon, sit on the landfill surface with an opening on the bottom such that methane gas is allowed to accumulate inside. From this, flux (or emissions) can be calculated.
These chambers are revolutionary because they are self-sustainable on solar power, and they automatically send data to the cloud for remote monitoring. Using this data, the Zekkos Group will be able to translate the methane concentration map into a methane emission map.

Yi Bao, Manager of the Advanced Civil Engineering - Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Michigan's College of Engineering, begins construction on the world's first concrete "Lego" inspired footbridge inside the Structures Lab on North Campus in Ann Arbor, MI. on May 22, 2019.
This prototype bridge is made up of 31 interlocking blocks secured with nuts and bolts for quick assembly. The blocks themselves are made of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC), or "bendable concrete", which is more ductile and more durable than traditional concrete.
The footbridge is designed for total reuse. The blocks can be easily disassembled and reassembled into a new configuration, rather than being discarded. Just like Lego bricks, they can be used again and again to create new structures as needs change.

Fibers that are constructed together in order for a light to be shot through by a chemical sensor prototype developed by EECS Professor Mohammed Islam's research group in the EECS Building on North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on December 8, 2017.
The sensor is able to detect a variety of qualities from a distance of more than 100 feet away and could be used to identify traces of drugs and explosives, as well as speeding the analysis of certain medical samples. Previously such a sensor was only able to be used in closed proximity.
Islam's research group built a laser-producing device that is able to send an infrared laser of various intensities through a series of different fibers that are connected.
