CLEMSON, South Carolina – Visualizing biological cells under a microscope was just made clearer, thanks to research conducted by graduate student Yifei Jiang and principal investigator Jason McNeill of Clemson University’s department of chemistry. With the help of Rhonda Powell and Terri Bruce of Clemson’s Light Imaging Facility, the team was able to develop a […]

Research conducted by Zhicheng Dou, an assistant professor of biological sciences in the College of Science, was featured in the June 2017 issue of Nature Microbiology. The findings, concerning the parasitic disease toxoplasmosis, suggest that the parasite’s “stomach” is a key target for drug development.
Clemson scientist Donald Liebenberg has personally witnessed and researched 26 total solar eclipses in the past 60-plus years. He was on the ground for eclipses 12 to 14 in Mexico, Aruba and Turkey, respectively.
Clemson scientist Donald Liebenberg has personally witnessed and researched 26 total solar eclipses in the past 60-plus years. For his 10th eclipse he was on the ground in Montana in 1979. Then the next year, for his 11th eclipse, he was again in an airplane, but this time over Africa.
The “Great American Eclipse” – the first total solar eclipse to stretch across the entire contiguous United States since 1918 – is set to occur on Aug. 21. Everyone in the U.S. will be in position to observe the moon partially cover the sun. But those located within the path of totality will experience the […]
CLEMSON, South Carolina — Three Clemson University College of Science researchers recently shared their areas of expertise with a group of 16 graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty members from other universities in a training workshop. Dubbed “Camp Lasernode,” the June 12-16 workshop aimed to teach the attendees — some of whom came from outside […]
Yunhui Peng, a doctoral student in Clemson University College of Science’s department of physics and astronomy, received a 2017 Chateaubriand Fellowship from the Embassy of France in the United States.
Clemson scientist Donald Liebenberg has personally witnessed and researched 26 total solar eclipses in the past 60-plus years. Here is part two of his experience in 1973 above Africa in a Concorde supersonic airliner, where he was able to remain within the window of totality for an astounding 74 minutes.
EASLEY, South Carolina – A recent appearance by Clemson University’s Donald Liebenberg at Pickens County Library drew a full house of more than 50 guests who listened intently to the internationally renowned scientist’s tales of his 60-plus years studying 26 total solar eclipses. Liebenberg, who has been an adjunct professor in the College of Science’s […]
CLEMSON, South Carolina – Clemson University scientist Donald Liebenberg, who has personally witnessed and researched 26 total solar eclipses over the past 60-plus years, has been prominently featured on MACH, an NBC News international website that focuses on science and technology. “I Chased an Eclipse at 60,000 Feet (and Set a World Record)” focuses on […]
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts Clemson is one of the U.S. cities most likely to enjoy clear weather during the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse. It also should have the best viewing conditions in South Carolina, NOAA says.

Electronic noses and paper-based biosensors might sound like inventions out of a futuristic drama, but one College of Science researcher is set to make them a reality.
On June 7 in a lab in Clemson University’s Kinard Hall, approximately 30 K-12 teachers from Laurens County schools assembled makeshift telescopes out of meter sticks and magnifying glasses. Using a simple addition equation, they investigated how parallel rays of light pass through convex lenses to converge at a focal point.
