Next time you pop a frozen meal into the microwave, pay close attention to the small ice crystals that have formed on the food. If it’s a filled pasta dish from Nestle, you may notice fewer of them thanks to the efforts of Case Western Reserve University student Alessandro d’Amico. Under the mento...

In April, Valentin Rodionov, assistant professor in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering, published a paper in Chemistry World (CW) titled, "Holes in the ‘holey graphyne’ story," which examines the challenges and importance of questioning published results. Recently, Rodionov a...

Svetlana Morozova, assistant professor in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering, has been selected as a 2024 American Chemical Society (ACS), Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering (PMSE) Early Investigator. The award, given to 24 professors, government research...

Hatsuo Ishida has spent nearly 50 years as a faculty member at Case Western Reserve University. In that time, he’s built a reputation as a global leader in the field of polymer science, having pioneered two groundbreaking discoveries that made monumental impacts on the study of polymer-based materia...

The Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University will host a technical symposium to honor the remarkable scientific contributions of CWRU’s esteemed Professor Hatsuo Ishida Friday, April 19, from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Mandel Community Studies Center...

Sometimes the best way to learn something new isn’t from a lecture, but from a hands-on approach. Graduate student Dillon Gagnon and others in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering, under the direction of Assistant Professor Svetlana Morozova, are using hands-on learning to teac...

It’s not everyday you walk into a classroom and see students using mixed-reality headsets to learn new concepts. Last semester, three classes in Case School of Engineering incorporated the HoloLens technology into their lesson plans, allowing students to learn in a new, highly visual and interactive...
