Florida State University will welcome researchers from around the world as it hosts the 39th International Symposium on Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis, or MSB 2023, from May 21-24 at the Augustus B. Turnbull III Florida State Conference Center.
Chemistry and Biochemistry
A team of Florida State University researchers has further developed a new generation of organic-inorganic hybrid materials that can improve image quality in X-ray machines, CT scans and other radiation detection and imaging technologies.
When doctors are examining suspected cancer cases, they turn to biomarker tests to help make a diagnosis. With a testing system and patient samples, physicians can investigate potential leads, narrowing down their list of culprits to provide precise, effective treatment for patients.
At the atomic and subatomic scales of matter, classical laws of nature lose control and quantum mechanics take over. Discoveries of new quantum phenomena and materials, such as quantum entanglement and topological systems, promise to deliver groundbreaking technologies.
Florida State University professor Igor Alabugin’s enthusiasm for chemistry is rivaled only by his enthusiasm for his students’ success
Florida State University Distinguished Research Professor Igor Alabugin is always on the go. While it’s easy to spot him in the halls of the Chemical Sciences Laboratory building, keeping pace with his purposeful stride — and his travel calendar — requires stamina.
A Florida State University chemist has earned one of the most prestigious awards available to early career faculty members for her work to improve solar cell efficiency.
A team from Florida State University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has developed a new strategy to build solid-state batteries that are less dependent on specific chemical elements, particularly pricey metals with supply chain issues.
A group of FSU researchers is part of a multi-institution team that will examine critical polymer components within fuel cell construction with an eye toward redesigning them and generating improved performance.
A Florida State University research team has developed a method to create red-emitting LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, with next-generation materials. Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Biwu Ma and other FSU researchers published their work in the scientific journal Advanced Materials.
Chemists can make a career out of controlling whether certain molecules are generated as a lefty or a righty. Molecules don’t literally have hands, but scientists often refer to them in this way when looking at molecules that are mirror images of each other and therefore are not superimposable.
A Florida State University researcher will receive the Grammaticakis-Neumann Prize from the Swiss Chemical Society. Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Lea Nienhaus will receive the award for her work on light-matter interactions in hybrid semiconductors. The prize is awarded to a promising young scientist for outstanding work in the field of experimental or theoretical photochemistry.
Research to improve 3D printing algorithms, develop better materials for measuring radiation and test the effectiveness of steroid treatments all received funding from a Florida State University program that supports faculty interested in transforming their academic work into commercial ventures.
