Finnish-US study reveals size & temperature effect on small water clusters energy. Relative to macroscopic model, the data & quantum mechanics suggests a behavior change based on temperature in cluster energy vs. size @AfzalifarAli @ProfShields @robin_ras go.acs.org/2fH

Our students are awesome! Chemistry majors have received national awards from the ACS, Goldwater Scholarships, Beckman Scholar Awards, and NSF GRFP fellowships. We are #3 nationally among PUIs for most graduates who complete a PhD. news.furman.edu/2022/04/05/w…
