The FSU campus is looking awesome today ... just a few random photos I took on a short walk from the chemistry dept to the med school 🌞🌻🪻🌺🌴 #Florida #Tallahassee

Exploring extreme conditions, former group member Pamela Knoll (now UK Centre for Astrobiology) is currently on a field trip to Iceland, collecting samples to understand what we can expect on other planetary bodies 🦠🌋🧫

Fanny Caroline Liu, Ph.D. from (@ ChemistryFsu) delivered her invited talk “Probing the Conformational Landscape of Monoclonal Antibodies by Tandem-Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry” at the Field and Franklin Award session Joseph A. Loo in San Diego, Calif., and virtually. 🧬💉🎤

Congratulations to FSU Chemistry & Biochemistry assistant professor Yan Zeng, who is one of 36 researchers nationwide to win a 2025 Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award from ORAU! For the latest news on her cutting-edge clean energy research, visit: fla.st/NOJ7KT01

OpenAI just discovered chemistry ... pretty big step for integrating things ... I'm excited!!

Interesting study in Nature Chemistry: "Are large language models superhuman chemists?" I think it shows the limited value of these types of tests for judging scientific competence ... but still ... impressive performance by good old GPT-4o nature.com/articles/s4155…

The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices. Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to study. Let me show you how!

We show that water hardness can be detected from simple photos using AI and large image libraries. As the limescale stains are faint, we amplify the effect of the Ca/Mg ions by reporter salts such as NaHCO3. Check out our paper in ES&T doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…

Playing around with a modified Gray-Scott model. The unmodified version consists of two coupled nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations based on U+2V -> 3V V -> P We are watching the time evolution of the V(x,y).

Two salt stains formed when NaHCO3 (baking soda) drops 💧 evaporate. We used these amazing patterns to measure the hardness of tap water with 25 ppm accuracy. For details on this AI-powered photo 📷 method, see: doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…

The bony-eared assfish has the smallest known brain-body mass ratio of all vertebrates ... well, it has to be someone 😆 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%E2%…

List of "chatGPT words". Considering the use of "acknowledging", "enabling" in this The New York Times article, I suspect the author used a chatbot. But seriously, I use a lot of those words. Also, what's so different from the editing services offered by publishers? nytimes.com/2025/07/02/hea…

Our new paper describes a synthetic "cell" that moves over superhydrophobic surfaces. It consists of an H2O2 drop and a chemical garden tube that spins like a propeller or orbits around a large O2 bubble; bursting causes repeating cm motion. #SoftMatter doi.org/10.1039/D5SM00…

MATLAB uses the IEEE 754 standard

Backed by NASA, researchers at FSU Chemistry & Biochemistry are pioneering AI-driven tools that can identify a sample’s chemical makeup just from a single photograph. #KeepFloridaFirst Read more about how this could help law enforcement, space exploration and more ➡️ fla.st/46IGKQR0

Space Launch Complex 37 has a storied history in spaceflight, and will soon be part of launching Starship from Florida
