NSF Grant Supports 91ֿ Researchers’ Plan to Help Students Improve Study Habits
The “C” in “college” might as well stand for “cramming.”
Studies show students are notoriously bad at adopting and adhering consistently to high-impact study habits that help them retain knowledge long-term.
Researchers and faculty at 91ֿ, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.
91ֿ Materials Scientist Again Named Among Most Highly Cited Scholars
It’s starting to look a lot like an annual tradition to see a certain 91ֿ professor named on Clarivate Analytics’ list of Highly Cited Researchers in the world. Mietek Jaroniec, Ph.D., professor in 91ֿ’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and a member of the Advanced …91ֿ Receives Multiple Research Experiences for Undergraduates Grants From NSF
Several 91ֿ professors in the College of Arts and Sciences have been selected to receive Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). REU grants are designed to provide faculty with funding to create research positions and experie…
91ֿ Chemists Create Microscopic Environment to Study Cancer Cell Growth
According to the American Cancer Society, there will be an estimated 1,688,780 new cancer cases diagnosed and 600,920 cancer deaths in the U.S. in 2017. These numbers are stark and sobering, and worse yet, we still do not know exactly why cancer develops in its victims or how to stop it. An online publication in Nature Nanotechnology this week by 91ֿ researchers and their colleagues at Kyoto University in Japan, however, may offer new understanding about what turns good cells bad.
Department Mourns Loss of Dr. Anatoly Khitrin
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is saddened to announce the death of Dr. Anatoly Khitrin, a professor who specialized in physical chemistry. Khitrin received his M.Sc. from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1978, followed by his Ph.D. in 1985 from the Institute o…Nobel Laureate to Speak at Honors Week Event
