FSU chemists use machine learning and robotics to identify chemical compositions from images
Dr. Oliver Steinbock and his team have created a machine learning tool that can identify the chemical composition of dried salt solutions from an image with 99% accuracy. The research could make possible cheaper, faster chemical analysis that could be used in space exploration, law enforcement, home testing and more.
Researchers decipher cause of solid-state battery breakdowns
Dr. Yan-Yan Hu and coworkers have discovered how tiny needles of metallic lithium known as dendrites form during solid-state battery use, which can lead to short circuits and battery failure.
FSU chemist elected elected a fellow of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance
A Florida State University faculty member has been elected to a prestigious scientific organization for his innovation in magnetic resonance, a scientific phenomenon known to many for its role in enabling magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI — the non-invasive procedure that generates pictures of the human body’s internal structures, helping improve diagnoses and treatment for patients.
