A brief description of nanotechnology, carbon nanotubes, and Van de Waal's Forces

They're awesome to have in the kitchen, but did you ever wonder how your microwave actually works? This is a quick introduction to the theory that makes our home microwave ovens possible. Here, Daniel covers the differences between microwave heati....

In part three of this three part series, FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley, summarizes the conclusions of ongoing FSU microwave chemistry research. He discusses the implications and future prospects of microwave research, addressing how other labs could....

In part two of this three part series, FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley, discusses in depth the microwave chemistry research he's conducted in collaboration with FSU colleague Dr. Al Stiegman. The research outlines Friedel-Crafts substitutions, Aryl-Cl....

In part one of this three part series, FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley, puts forth the controversy that surrounds microwave chemistry research, he outlines physical theory of microwave chemistry, and discusses the research teams central design hypothe....

This is the introduction to a three part research presentation on microwave chemistry given by FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley. Dudley reports on joint FSU research surrounding microwave chemistry and its previously unknown potential in lab applicatio....

Jonathan Christian discusses what it means to be a material/physical chemist. He shows how a physical chemist characterizes materials using his research into Chromium 3+ polyoxometalates.

Florida State graduate student Brian Gold discusses his research into click chemistry, that is building complex molecules using simple reactions that always work. Brian's project focuses on increasing ring strain of organic molecules without reducing....

Kristen Pace presenting her research at the FSU Research Remix

The science of carbon nanotubes and related materials. How can we use them to make novel hybrid structures?

Alan Marshall describes how the ultra-high resolution, obtainable with very large magnetic fields, of Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) enables rapid and accurate analysis of very complex mixtures.

The use of computer simulation continues to advance bringing scientists and engineers the insight of graphical simulations at the molecular level

Philip Shlenoff, recent high school graduate, gives a presentation of his work and opportunity at the Florida State University Dept. of Chemistry. Under the supervision of Zaki Estephan, Philip has actively participated in research that targets canc....

Early rare earth metals (La, Ce, Pr, Nd) combined with late first row transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni) can produce low melting eutectic mixtures. For instance, a 75:25 mole percent mixture of La and Ni forms a eutectic that melts at 532 õC. We are inv....

Microwave chemistry is a field that is growing in popularity. Microwave radiation offers a more efficient means of heating compared to traditional thermal processes. The added efficiency comes from the idea of selective heating. It is important to un....

Alan G. Marshall, Florida State University's 2006-2007 Lawton Professor, will speak on 'Reading Chemical 'Fine Print': The Key to Unlocking Nature's Isotopic Zoo' as he delivers the Tenth Annual Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor Lecture.'Natur....

The chemical reactions that cause 'red tide', as well as the effect of the chemical processes.
