Academic programs that bring opportunity

Just outside the nation's capital, we've built connections with government agencies and industry partners working at the forefront of scientific research. Combine those with our advanced facilities for getting real-world work experience and options for tailoring your degree, and our students have more opportunity to land jobs, internships, and research collaborations that really help them stand out.

Planting the ‘seed’ to advance nanoparticle growth reactions

In a study published by Nature Communications, researchers from George Mason, including Interim Chair for Mason’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Andre Clayborne and Chemistry PhD candidate Nia Pollard, identified an atomically precise “seed” that will develop into a specific nanoparticles type—opening the door for scientists to understand how to produce specific gold nanoparticle shape based on a given application.

Andre Clayborne meets with Nia Pollard in the Clayborne Lab to discuss their research

CDS researchers conclude that Mars colony could survive with fewer than two dozen people
