Extra, Extra! The American Chemical Society has released a a story on work don't by some of the Undergraduate students in our department. A group of students are in San Diego now presenting their projects at the Spring national meeting.
This work was funded partially by the Iowa Space Grant Consortium and Iowa NASA EPSCoR .

Deep below Earth’s surface, rock and mineral formations lay hidden with a secret brilliance. Under a black light, the chemicals fossilized within shine in brilliant hues of pink, blue and green. Scientists are using these fluorescent features to understand how the caves formed and how life is supp...
