Physicists Entangle Photon and Atom in Atomic Cloud
Georgia Institute of Technology

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.

Hurricanes Are Getting Stronger, Study Says
Georgia Institute of Technology

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.

Research Shows How Water May Enhance Nanocatalysis
Georgia Institute of Technology

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.
