Merten Lab’s Research is Published |
Research by Dr. Jonathan Merten, professor of chemistry, undergraduate researchers Shealynn Chestnut and Marybeth Foster, and a colleague at Florida has been published in Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy. Their work features a technique developed by Merten’s lab to use atomic absorption measurements for mapping distribution of extremely hot material in short-lived plasmas, formed by ablating samples with pulsed lasers. The technique also might be used to measure the isotope ratio of gaseous samples of uranium hexafluoride.

Students under the guidance of Dr. Susan Whiteland, professor of art education, donated more than 80 hours to paint murals for installation in the recently opened Methodist Children’s Behavioral Hospital. Hospital representatives recognized Whiteland's students for their contribution, noting that integrating the artwork throughout the facility helps create a visually therapeutic environment that reduces the hospital’s clinical feel and reinforces a sense of comfort and support.
