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.
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.
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.
Biologists at Georgia Tech have provided scientific support for a controversial hypothesis that has divided biologists for two years.
