Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are using artificial intelligence to create new tools that can help find defects in powder-based 3D printing for a $2.2 million project supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, or AFOSR.
The month of April is Autism Acceptance Month, another opportunity to shine a light on the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Valuable medical and clinical research over the years has uncovered important facts about ASD, as one in 36 children are being diagnosed worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers have created a new method for studying protein degradation within immune cells that uses engineered microparticles to track and analyze degradation processes more effectively than traditional methods. The work, which was published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, has important implications for treating diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and autoimmune disorders.
Opening day of the Major League Baseball season begins Thursday 鈥� an event that many see as a national holiday. At the same time, many Little League players are preparing for another fun and exciting season. Youth sports have proven to benefit many children physically, mentally and socially 鈥� no matter which sport they compete in.
Two eminent scholars focused on the intersection of nutrition and public health have joined Florida State University and will lead new research efforts in that area as the university continues to bolster its health research portfolio. Regan Bailey, an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, and Patrick Stover, an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, have joined the FSU College of Medicine as professors and will lead a new institute focused on nutrition and health that will report to the Office of the Vice President of Research.
For decades, people have been trying to directly detect dark matter: the missing mass in our universe. Now, research from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is making possible a new, super-sensitive detector 鈥� and even though it鈥檚 still in the research and development phase, it鈥檚 already been able to search for kinds of dark matter that other detectors can鈥檛 find.
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 鈥� the non-invasive procedure that generates pictures of the human body鈥檚 internal structures, helping improve diagnoses and treatment for patients.
Florida State University chemists have created a machine learning tool that can identify the chemical composition of dried salt solutions from an image with 99% accuracy. By using robotics to prepare thousands of samples and artificial intelligence to analyze their data, they created a simple, inexpensive tool that could expand possibilities for performing chemical analysis.
A team of two Florida State University researchers, a computational linguist and a philosopher of science, is launching a novel research area to investigate why ChatGPT responds the way it does.
Florida State University researchers will use new funding from the National Science Foundation to investigate mechanisms that drive wildfire spread.
A team at the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory has 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. The team鈥檚 research, which was published in Nature Materials, provides a clearer understanding of dendrite formation and could help develop more reliable and efficient solid-state batteries for various applications, including electric vehicles, energy systems, medical devices and more.
A team of researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is exploring how existing technology and new algorithms can prevent potential crashes at intersections and pave the way for smarter, safer roads.
The work of globally recognized Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto recently came to the forefront as the 91-year-old was nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize last week. Gaining worldwide attention in the early 1960s for his 鈥淢irror Paintings,鈥� Pistoletto used his art to promote the 鈥淭hird Paradise鈥� movement 鈥� the concept that art can create peace among societies.
The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) has named four Florida State University faculty members as 2025 NAI Senior Members.
Florida State University continues to make an enormous investment in artificial intelligence 鈥� a critical and forward-thinking technology that is bound to reshape higher education for decades to come. Faculty, staff and researchers are using the latest AI tools and technologies in several ways: FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Dean Suvranu De led the development of an AI-powered tool that helps to train surgeons by analyzing video of their surgical technique and providing feedback; the College of Nursing launched the nation鈥檚 first master鈥檚 degree combining artificial intelligence and health care; Professors Hailey Kuang and Prashant Singh of the Anne Spencer Daves College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences are addressing food safety challenges with AI; the College of Law is integrating AI research into their curriculum to better equip their students for the future.
Assistant Professor of chemistry and biochemistry Yan Zeng has been funded as part of the DOE鈥檚 $50 million Low-cost Earth-abundant Na-ion Storage Consortium, or LENS Consortium, which aims to discover, develop and demonstrate a new class of sodium-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles.
A study on microplastics published last week shows that levels of plastic particles were about 50% higher in brain samples from 2024 compared to 2016. Research into the health effects of microplastics and nanoplastics is still emerging as the body of work is less than a decade old. Higher concentrations of plastics in our environment are linked to their larger presence in humans.
