Shine a light: New research shows how low-energy light can bend plastic
A team of Florida State University researchers has uncovered a way to use low-energy light to manipulate photopolymers or plastic films — a finding that has implications for a wide range of technologies that use light as an energy source to create shape-shifting structures.
FSU Chemistry Doctoral Student Wins ACS Award for Research on Recyclability
Brianna Coia (Kennemur Group) has won the ACS POLY Graduate Student Travel Awards to present her work at the 2022 ACS Meeting in Chicago
FSU study on banana browning could help tackle food waste
The Steinbock research group investigated the formation and spread of brown spots on bananas, a striking case of biological pattern formation. In research published in Physical Biology, the team described how the spots appear during a two-day window, rapidly expand, but then mysteriously stall, leaving a sharp distinction between spots of brown and the still-yellow peel.
