Chemistry Professor Continues ‘Highly Cited Researcher’ Streak
There are just a handful of chemists worldwide with h-indices above 200. The h-indices of chemists awarded the Nobel Prize during the last five years range from about 30 to 160. Mietek Jaroniec, professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has an h-index of 125, which places him among the top chemists worldwide.

ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Researchers Use Liquid Crystal to Control Bacteria Movement
A liquid crystal research group at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State led by Oleg Lavrentovich, Ph.D., is knocking on the doors of the biomedical industry with its current project. The recent publication of research explains a technique of controlling bacteria movement with liquid crystal structures that could have a potential impact in many areas of research and medical care.

ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Researchers Challenge the Growing Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Problem With New Compound
“The pessimistic estimate is that by 2050, antibiotics could be obsolete,'' said Songping Huang, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences. Huang and his ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State team, including Min-Ho Kim, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, are working on closing that chasm with the development of new antimicrobials.
