Can Cosmic Collisions Be Predicted Before They Happen?
In collaboration with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), Surabhi Sachdev is co-leading the development of early-warning software to nab neutron-star mergers faster. "In the next run, we might be able to catch one of the neutron star mergers 10 seconds ahead of time," says Sachdev, an assistant professor in the School of Physics. "By the fifth run, we believe we can catch one with a full minute of warning."

New Quantum State Discovered in Trimer-Honeycomb Material
A group of physicists, including two Georgia Tech researchers, have discovered a new quantum state in trimer-honeycomb material. The transformation allows for a billion percent increase in the material’s conductivity and could lead to a new paradigm for quantum devices. The discovery builds on a previous study that first investigated the material, also known as Mn3Si2Te6, for its unusual and unique qualities.
