Breweries generate a very large amount of wastewater that must be purified prior to release into the environment. MSI PI Paige Novak (professor, Civil, Environmental, and Geo-Engineering) leads in a project that would capture the pollutants in this wastewater and transform them into clean energy. The research is featured on the website of the University of Minnesota Foundation: Energy drink.
The Technology Commercialization office has compiled a list of U of M researchers who were awarded U.S. patents in 2023. Many of the patents were awarded to MSI PIs. Links to the patent documentation and the complete list can be found on the Tech Comm website: Patent Roll Call: 2023.  
On Wednesday, April 3, 2024, MSI staff will perform scheduled maintenance and upgrades to various MSI systems. During this month’s scheduled maintenance period, primary storage, Mesabi, Mangi, and Agate will be unavailable throughout much of the day. A global system reservation will start at 5:00 a.m. on April 3. Jobs that cannot be completed before 5:00 a.m. on April 3 will be held until after maintenance and then started once the system returns to production status. Systems status is always available on our Status page.
