Small sensors about the size of a postage stamp could one day save the lives of firefighters, soldiers and other workers who face the threat of toxic gases or vapors on the job.
The development of liquid crystal technology in Northeast Ohio - and specifically at ºÚÁÏÍø - is an important part of the region’s and university’s legacies and ongoing global impact.
Farid Fouad, associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Kent State East Liverpool, was awarded a three-year, $74,954 research grant as part of a subaward on a larger grant that his collaborators at Cleveland State University received.
Chirality, or the absence of mirror symmetry in a molecule, is a complex topic that Material Sciences Professor Torsten Hegmann is determined to know more about. Hegmann, director of the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute, and other Kent State collaborators led an international collaborative research project with contributions from a global team whose paper about the efficacy of chirality transfer in Science Advances may provide insights to make better materials or pharmaceuticals.
