At the Edge of Graphene-Based Electronics
Regents’ Professor Walter de Heer has taken a critical step in the case for a successor to silicon, working with collaborators to develop a new nanoelectronics platform based on graphene — a single sheet of carbon atoms. The technology is compatible with conventional microelectronics manufacturing, and the new research, published in Nature Communications, shows the team may have also discovered a new quasiparticle.
Healing Breath: Researchers Dramatically Improve Inhalable mRNA Therapy
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, has been used to immunize millions of people in just the past few years. Among the most likely targets for future mRNA therapies are the lungs, given the large number of pulmonary diseases, such as the coronavirus, influenza, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and others. Now, a team of multi-disciplinary investigators from five universities, led by Georgia Tech faculty researchers, has provided a potential path toward that future.
10 Years, 200 Papers: Two Physicists on Collaboration, Co-advising — and Complex Biophysics
Over the past decade, Flavio Fenton and James (JC) Gumbart have enjoyed partnering as faculty, research collaborators, co-advisors, and friends. 200 papers later, they look back at 10 years of research, and to the decade ahead.
To the Moon, Back, and Beyond
The Artemis I rocket launch is a major step in NASA's return to Earth's moon. Hear from seven Georgia Tech experts — including Thom Orlando, Feryal Özel, and Frances Rivera-Hernández — on why we're going and what we might find, the science and politics of space, and predictions on the broader future of space exploration.
IceCube Neutrinos Give Us First Glimpse Into the Inner Depths of an Active Galaxy
Ignacio Taboada, School of Physics professor, is the spokesperson for an international team of scientists using a massive Antarctica-based neutrino telescope to detect the particles coming from a supermassive black hole 47 million light-years from Earth.
Eyes on the Sky: How to Watch Tuesday's Total Lunar Eclipse
The campus observatory at the Howey Physics Building will open at 4 a.m. where the Aloha Telescope in Maui, Hawaii, will livestream a clear view of every stage of the eclipse, from 4 to 8 a.m. on the Georgia Tech Observatory YouTube channel.
Enjoying Halloween on Campus
Halloween at Georgia Tech includes a bit of everything — fossils, ballroom dancing, costume contests, and pumpkins falling from the top of the Howey Physics Building.
