Is UCLA Chemistry Department Good?

[TatianaUSA]

<p>Hello, I was just admitted to UCLA for Chemistry Major… and I don’t know if it is a good choice?
I am confused and don’t know what to think.</p>

<p>Please help!</p>

<p>I’m not sure how good the whole department is, but one of their professors has recently made some big news:</p>

<p>

Ric Kaner co-authored the most highly cited article in the six-year history of the journal Nature Nanotechnology and the first one to pass 1000 citations according to the Web of Science. The article entitled Processable Aqueous Dispersions of Graphene Nanosheets (Nature Nanotechnology 3, 101-105, 2008) explains a scalable method for chemically reducing graphite oxide to graphene. Since the materials are inexpensive and dispersible in water, they may pave the way for applications of graphene.
With an impact factor in excess of 30, Nature Nanotechnology is by far the highest impact journal in the nanosciences and one of the highest impact journals in all the natural sciences.
