FSU launches bridge program to increase underrepresented students in chemistry
The Bridge program, funded by the American Chemical Society, is being launched this summer. It will provide two to three students per year with a tuition waiver and a stipend, plus research and mentoring opportunities.
Microplastics and human health: FSU researchers find exposure to microplastics may alter cellular function
The Sang research group is taking the first steps in understanding the effects of microplastics on human health. Their findings underscore previously raised concerns, particularly for individuals with respiratory disorders like lung cancer, asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
FSU researchers use pressure-sensitive molecular materials to harness cooling technology
Researchers from FSU and University of Barcelona have developed a process with magnets that could potentially create a better, faster, non-volatile cooling system.
Microwave Superheating of Agglomerates in Solution
In a novel set of experiments, FSU Professors measure extraordinarily high temperature in microwave heated solutions.
The strategic position: How molecules sit on surfaces drives energy and electron transfer
Prof. Hanson, Yang, and collaborators use a combination of experiment and theory to determine the structure of multilayer assemblies and the influence of structure on interfacial energy and electron transfer.
FSU chemistry professor uses old materials to make newer, better solar cells
Professor of Chemistry Biwu Ma and his team published a new study that shows if you add a layer of ancient organic pigment to a perovskite solar cell, it increases the stability and efficiency of the cell.
Chemistry Major Diana Conrad is Highlighted as an FSU Student Star
Diana Conrad said she always knew she wanted to be a teacher. Four years of studying at Florida State University confirmed that dream — and even gave it a bit more meaning.
FSU chemistry professor wins prestigious American Chemical Society award
Igor Alabugin has become the first in the university’s history to receive the American Chemical Society’s Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award, one of the most prestigious awards in organic chemistry.
FSU researchers develop new X-ray detection technology
FSU researchers have developed a new material that could be used to make flexible X-ray detectors that are less harmful to the environment and cost less than existing technologies.
FSU chemistry graduate students chosen to organize Kasha symposium
A group of Florida State University graduate students have been selected to present “Illuminating the Field of Photophysics: 100 Years of Michael Kasha,” a symposium at the American Chemical Society’s national meeting, celebrating the former FSU professor who was one of the world’s foremost photochemists.
