In 1972 Onsager retired from Yale and became emeritus. He then became a member of the [[Center for Theoretical Studies, University of Miami]], and was appointed Distinguished University Professor of Physics.<ref>{{cite book |author=National Academy of Sciences |chapter-url=http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=6061&page=218  |doi=10.17226/6061 |access-date=2016-03-07|year=1991 |isbn=978-0-309-07865-8 |title=Biographical Memoirs |chapter=Lars Onsager|volume=60 |publisher=The National Academies Press}}</ref> At the [[University of Miami]] he remained active in guiding and inspiring postdoctoral students as his teaching skills, although not his lecturing skills, had improved during the course of his career. He developed interests in semiconductor physics, biophysics and radiation chemistry. However, his death came before he could produce any breakthroughs comparable to those of his earlier years.
