A Florida State University researcher has received a major scientific grant to study the chemical processes within the human body that may lead to the development of diabetes. Knowledge gained from Michael Roper's research could lay the foundation for future treatments of a disorder that is reaching pandemic proportions throughout the world, especially in the United States and other developed countries.
Superconductivity has perplexed, astounded and inspired scientists ever since it was discovered in 1911. Now, in the latest of a century of surprises, researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University have discovered unusual properties in a novel superconducting material that point to an entirely new kind of superconductor.
A Florida State University doctoral candidate in Religion has received the renowned Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship.
Florida State University Professor Max Gunzburger will receive a prestigious mathematics prize in recognition of his work in computational mathematics and developing mathematical models of science and engineering problems.
The Florida State University College of Medicine has been recognized as one of the top medical schools in the country for producing family physicians.
Now that the genomes (DNA) of humans and many other organisms have been sequenced, biologists are turning their attention to discovering how the many thousands of structural and control genes—the "worker bees" of living cells that can turn genes on and off—function.
Rising gas prices are affecting more than the family budget. More pain at the pump results in more employee stress on the job, says Wayne Hochwarter, the Jim Moran Professor of Management at Florida State University's College of Business.
It took four years of planning and another two-and-a-half years of construction, but the wait was well worth it: Florida State University is celebrating the grand opening of a new, state-of-the-art Chemical Sciences Laboratory that will offer expanded educational and research opportunities for decades of faculty members and students.
Working with colleagues from NASA, a Florida State University researcher has published a paper that calls into question three decades of conventional wisdom regarding some of the physical processes that helped shape the Earth as we know it today.
