College of Sciences (CoS)
The College of Sciences was created by a separation from the College of Sciences and Liberal Studies. The new College was established in anticipation of the growing importance of interdisciplinary scientific technology-and its establishment has proven to be both wise and timely.

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-10-15)The Overturning of the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP) is an effort to determine the strength of the meridional overturning circulation and associated heat and freshwater fluxes in the subpolar North Atlantic. ... -
Recipe for a Habitable Planet
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-09-21)The discovery of numerous small exoplanets has brought the search for life beyond the Solar System into sharp focus on many potentially habitable worlds where life may exist. However, many factors and processes can affect ... -
Sloppy models, differential geometry, and why science works
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-09-28)Models of systems biology, climate change, ecology, complex instruments, and macroeconomics have parameters that are hard or impossible to measure directly. If we fit these unknown parameters, fiddling with them until they ... -
Comparative study of snake lateral undulation kinematics in model heterogeneous terrain dataset
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-09-24)Terrestrial organisms that use traveling waves to locomote must leverage heterogeneities to overcome drag on the elongate body. While previous studies illuminated how habitat generalist snakes self-deform to use rigid ... -
Stacking atomic layers: quest for new materials and physics
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-09-14)Modern electronics heavily rely on the technology to confine electrons in the interface layers of semiconductors. In recent years, scientists discovered that various atomically thin van der Waals (vdW) layered materials ... -
Universal bound states of two- and three-body quantum systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-07-27)When there is a low-energy resonance between two particles, the typical separation of physical length scales no longer holds, and quantum systems can form states that are much larger on average than the characteristic size ... -
Improved understanding of earthquake interaction with waveform matching method
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-08-03)As one of the most common geological phenomena, earthquake occurs in various tectonic settings, such as fault zone along plate boundaries, volcanoes, and oil/gas production sites. The stress changes caused by large earthquake ... -
Understanding the role of formic acid in fine and coarse particle mode
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-07-21)Formic acid partitioning was investigated at two sites in the southeast U.S., Yorkville, GA and Jefferson Street (JST). Previous studies in the southeast have shown that observed formic acid partitioning to fine particles ... -
