Applied Science at Georgia Tech: Suniva - Solar Cell Manufacturer
Using technology developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Suniva Inc. has become the first solar cell manufacturer in the Southeast more...Applied Science at Georgia Tech: Biotechnology to Create Unique Nanoparticle Composites
Using thin films of silk as templates, researchers have incorporated inorganic nanoparticles that join with the silk to form strong and flexible composite structures that have unusual optical and mechanical properties more...Applied Science at Georgia Tech: piezoelectric nanogenerator produces power from vibrations
Opportunities for harvesting energy from the environment, for instance from vibrations, has prompted more than a dozen startups to create microsized power generators. more...Applied Science at Georgia Tech: array of field-effect carbon nanotube cathodes for ion propulsion
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have won a $6.5 million grant to develop improved components that will boost the efficiency of electric propulsion systems used to control the positions of satellites more...Applied Science at Georgia Tech: Researchers Discover Nanoscale Paradox - Graphene versus Copper
The unique properties of thin layers of graphite (grapheme) make the material attractive for replacing copper for interconnects in future generations of integrated circuits more...Applied Science at Georgia Tech: Optical Fiber for Photovoltaics
The work, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, makes use of nanometre-scale wires built around optical fibres like bristles. Those wires give the light much more surface area to interact with, leading to higher overall efficiencies. more...Applied Science at Georgia Tech: New Medical Device and Medical Technology Center
Georgia Institute of Technology, Saint Joseph’s Translational Research Institute (SJTRI), Piedmont Healthcare and the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) have joined together to create in the Southeast a new Global Center for Medical Innovation more...New life for old hydropower technologies
The US Department of Energy in its April 2009 Funding Opportunity Announcement declared new research areas eligible for receipt of grants from the $40 million appropriated by Congress to investigate advanced water power energy generation technologies. more...How small is ultrasmall: Theoretical physics at Fermilab
Theoretical and experimental works. Fermilab is a laboratory where advances in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology converge. At Fermilab, theoretical physicists work hand-in-hand with experimenters. Theorists play a crucial role in making connections among the numerous discoveries made by experiments around the world each year. more...In The News
"How fast is ultrafast?"Assistant Professor Aaron Lindenberg’s subjects are the individual molecules and atoms that vibrate and zip through the hustle and flow of matter as it changes. Their size is so small and their motion so fast that he needs quite simply the fastest and sharpest camera on Earth. He’ll have exactly that when an incredibly powerful x-ray beam known as the Linac Coherent Light Source
