Florida State Chemist, Educator and Science Advocate Wins 2025 Corones Award
Kenneth Hanson, the Cottrell Family Associate Professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Florida State University, will receive the 2025 James Corones Award in Leadership, Community Building and Communication, the Krell Institute announced today.
Prof. Sang Named Recognized as an FSU Distinguished Research Professor
Florida State University has bestowed the title of Distinguished Research Professor on three outstanding faculty members for their exemplary research productivity and contributions to their fields.
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.
FSU researcher join $50M Department of Energy consortium to create powerful sodium-ion batteries for electric vehicles
A Florida State University chemist is part of a nationwide research team confronting these issues through a major U.S. Department of Energy consortium created to help reduce reliance on critical elements — chemical elements that are in high demand for various industries and are in limited supply.
FSU Chemists Advance Biotherapeutics With Innovative Imaging Research
New research from the Florida State University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry shows that a particular type of monoclonal antibody known as NISTmAb retains its structure even if the sugar molecules attached to it are changed.
Dr. Schurko’s Research is Highlighted in Spectrum Magazine
Chemist Rob Schurko embraces uncertainty and reaps the rewards in research and in life. In 2019, Dr. Schurko accepted a position as a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and director of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Facility at the FSU-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
FSU scientists develop high-impact materials for optoelectronic technologies
FSU researchers are developing new more cost-effective and environmentally friendly hybrid materials known as organic metal halides for use in X-ray machines, computers, cell phones and televisions.
Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida names two FSU professors Rising Stars
The Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida (ASEMFL) has named two FSU faculty members part of its 2024 class of “Rising Stars” and they were recognized at the organization’s annual meeting on Nov. 1-2 in Orlando.
