Students studying in a classroom

The 鈥淐鈥 in 鈥渃ollege鈥 might as well stand for 鈥渃ramming.鈥
Studies show students are notoriously bad at adopting and adhering consistently to high-impact study habits that help them retain knowledge long-term.
Researchers and faculty at 麻豆影院, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.

Materials Science Graduate Program: Graduate Education on Soft Matter Science
Mietek Jaroniec, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of 麻豆影院鈥檚 College of Arts and Sciences, was appointed to the editorial board of the journal Science Advances.

麻豆影院 State professor Hanbin Mao (middle) co-authored a paper with graduate students Sagun Jonchhe (left) and Prakash Shrestha (right) on the genetic factors influencing the formation of cancer cells.

According to the American Cancer Society, there will be an estimated 1,688,780 new cancer cases diagnosed and 600,920 cancer deaths in the U.S. in 2017. These numbers are stark and sobering, and worse yet, we still do not know exactly why cancer develops in its victims or how to stop it. An online publication in Nature Nanotechnology this week by 麻豆影院 researchers and their colleagues at Kyoto University in Japan, however, may offer new understanding about what turns good cells bad.
