Physicists have just reached an important milestone in the development of quantum communications networks by entangling a photon and a single atom located in an atomic cloud. This is the first time an entanglement between a photon and a collective excitation of atoms has passed the rigorous test of quantum behavior known as a Bell inequality violation.
Georgia Tech researchers are using quantum cascade lasers to develop handheld gas and liquid phase sensors capable of providing instantaneous and continuous detection of trace elements. Potential applications include chemical weapon detection and diagnosing illnesses through breath.
In order to remain technologically and scientifically competitive, the U.S. needs all the brainpower it has. Currently however, a significant brain drain is taking place as bias has created a significant barrier to women and under-represented groups from pursuing technological or scientific careers.
A Georgia Tech researcher has discovered that combining a particular chemical compound with a fuel cell membrane can solve many of the problems that have kept polymer fuel cells largely out of the marketplace.
Georgia Tech students have organized a memorial consisting of 2,996 flags, one for each victim of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The flags will be on display near the Student Center Campanile, from 10 a.m. Friday through 4 p.m. on Sunday. Georgia Tech will hold a moment of silence at noon Friday.
The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes worldwide has nearly doubled over the past 35 years, even though the total number of hurricanes has dropped since the 1990s, according to a study published in the journal Science. The shift occurred as global sea surface temperatures have increased over the same period.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have uncovered important evidence that explains how water, usually an inhibitor of catalytic reactions, can sometimes promote them. The findings could lead to the development of lower cost techniques for certain industrially important catalytic reactions.
New research suggests that plant eaters may prefer to eat exotic species over domestic plants. The findings could lead to better strategies for controlling the billions of dollars in damage that invasive plants cause every year.
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism with which disease-causing bacteria may thwart the body's natural defense responses. The discovery of how iron is key to nitric oxide reduction could ultimately lead to the development of more effective antibiotics.
In recent years, researchers have developed new insights into a hidden unity between the motion of objects in space and that of the smallest particles. There is an almost perfect parallel between the mathematics describing celestial mechanics and that governing some aspects of atomic physics.
In a study illustrating the apparent linkages between the evolutionary development and embryonic development of species, researchers have uncovered the genetic elements that determine the structure and function of a simple biomechanical system, the lower jaw of the cichlid fish.
The Mathematics Teaching Assistant Development Seminar at the Georgia Institute of Technology is the recipient of the 2005 Georgia Board of Regents' Teaching Excellence Award in the Department/Program Division. The program originated in 1995 as a way to address communication difficulties between math students and international teaching assistants.
Jeffrey Skolnick, renowned systems biologist and previous director of the Buffalo Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics at SUNY-Buffalo, will join the faculty of the Georgia Tech this spring as the Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Computational Systems Biology.
Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin will deliver the address to the undergraduates at the Georgia Institute of Technology's 223rd commencement ceremony at 9 a.m. on Saturday, December 17, 2005 at Alexander Memorial Coliseum.
Biologists at Georgia Tech have provided scientific support for a controversial hypothesis that has divided biologists for two years.
As many Americans take pains to complete their last-minute holiday shopping, a group of Georgia Tech students will be helping people whose homes were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina to rebuild their lives.
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have found genetic evidence that seems to support a controversial hypothesis that humans and chimpanzees may be more closely related to each other than chimps are to the other two species of great apes "“ gorillas and orangutans.
A group of experts in science, engineering and public policy from Georgia Tech, Imperial College London and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have a plan to make biofuels and biomaterials a viable supplement to petroleum, replacing as much as 30 percent of transportation fuel needs.
Researchers have developed a technology to help spectrometers analyze substances using fewer parts in a wider variety of environments, regardless of lighting. The technology can improve the portability while reducing the size, complexity, and cost of many sensing and diagnostics systems that use spectrometers.
Catherine Brechignac, adjunct professor of Physics and a distinguished visiting scholar chair at the Georgia Institute of Technology, has been appointed president of France's Centre National de la Recherché Scientifique (CNRS), the largest scientific organization in Europe.
