Florida State University will dedicate more than $20 million to quantum science and engineering over the next three years, funding that will support hiring at least eight new faculty members, equipment and dedicated space in the university’s Interdisciplinary Research and Commercialization Building, and seed money for a new program focused on this emerging field.

Florida State University researchers lay out a model that explains how brightly colored, coral-like structures grow upward, form different shapes and how they go from a flexible, self-healing material to a more brittle one.

Dr. Schlenoff and coworkers are developing a new coating to protect ships from marine fouling. The work is funded through a new $510,000 grant from the U.S. Office of Naval Research.

The Ma Research group has developed a method to create red-emitting LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, with next-generation materials.

Dr. DePrince, Dr. Hanson, and coworkers use the power of math and computers to demonstrate that an optical cavity can be used to control chirality.

A team of scientists from Florida State University and University of South Carolina have found a way to mimic photosynthesis — converting light energy into chemical fuel in the lab. Their study is published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

The Ma research group has developed a new way to create blue light from a class of materials that shows enormous potential for optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers.
