    Michigan Tech Biologists Turn Icy Challenges into Resource with DARPA Project

    Researchers at Michigan Tech are exploring the capabilities of ice-dwelling bacteria, which could help the U.S. military operate more easily and safely in extremely cold conditions. Michigan Technological University researchers are taking advantage of the Upper Peninsula's watery, wintry wonderland to combat cold challenges and investigate icy infrastructure. Ice management, harnessing the melting and freezing capabilities of ice-dwelling bacteria, could be a means to provide the U.S. military with greater protection and increased options in extreme cold-weather environments.
