    U-M researchers are leading a multimillion-dollar collaborative effort to bring to market heat-resistant sensing and computing chips made of silicon carbide, which holds the possibility of advancing aircraft, electric and gas-powered vehicles, renewable energy, defense and space exploration. In this photo, Satyam Patel (left), an electrical and computer engineering doctoral student, and Becky Peterson, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and principal investigator for the silicon carbide semiconductor project, work in Peterson’s lab.

The first space mission led by U-M’s Department of Astronomy will use two CubeSats twice the size of the one shown here when it is scheduled to launch in 2029, with support from a $10 million NASA grant. The mission, called STARI, will showcase the viability of a new technique for studying planets outside our solar system. (Photo by Eric Bronson, Michigan Photography)
