10 Years of Southern Stargazing: How Star Trek Changed Everything
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-04-06)This public lecture by Glenn Burns, chief meteorologist of WSB-TV, is one of three events to celebrate 10 Years of Southern Stargazing at the Georgia Tech Observatory. The destination for the 1960s Apollo missions was ... -
100 years of Einstein's Gravity
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-11-02)Curved spacetime, relativistic time, black holes and gravitational waves are just a few topics in Einstein’s theory of gravity called Special and General Relativity. Professors Cadonati and Shoemaker will take you on a ... -
A numerical study of cardiac arrhythmia and defibrillation validated by experiments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-08-27)Defibrillation is termination of arrhythmias by altering the transmembrane voltage through the delivery of electric shocks. Debates on the mechanisms behind defibrillations, however, have never ceased. More recent studies ... -
A point contact spectroscopy study of topological superconductivity
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-01)The study of topological superconductivity has been at the forefront of condensed matter physics for the past few years. Topological superconductors are predicted to have odd parity pairing and host so called Majorana ... -
A robophysics approach to bipedal walking in granular media
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-05-19)Humanoid robots will need capabilities to traverse environments ranging from factory floors to disaster areas. However, most of today's devices fail when faced with more complex ground conditions such as loose sand. To ... -
A search for very high-energy gamma-ray emission from pulsars with VERITAS
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-11-13)Pulsars are powerful cosmic particle accelerators known to emit radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Their gamma-ray emission has been intensely studied at energies up to ~10 GeV, above which the predicted ... -
A Study on Porous Silicon Gas Sensors: Metal Oxide Depositions to Organic Materials
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-08-18)This paper has two main topics. The first topics covers the detection of volatile organic compounds with porous silicon (PSi) sensors. The second part explores the possibility of using conducting polymers as coatings for ... -
Absence of inelastic collapse in a realistic three ball model
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyAmerican Physical Society, 1998-04)Inelastic collapse, the process in which a number of partially inelastic balls dissipate their energy through an infinite number of collisions in a finite amount of time, is studied for three balls on an infinite line and ... -
Absolute total apparent ionization, electron stripping, electron capture, and partial ionization cross sections in the energy range 015-100 MeV
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1966-12) -
The absorption and refraction of centimeter microwaves by water
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1950-08) -
Absorption of sulfur dioxide by charged aqueous droplets
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1972-05) -
Accretion and feedback from supermassive black holes in galaxy clusters
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06-20)A significant fraction of galaxy clusters, namely the cool-core clusters (CCCs), exhibit a dip in their central temperature profiles, with radiative cooling times much shorter than the Hubble time. Unchecked, radiative ... -
ACS/Project seed

Advanced scanning probe lithography and its parallelization
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-04-20)Nanofabrication is the process of making functional structures with arbitrary patterns having nanoscale dimensions. Nanofabrication has been widely implemented in industry for improving microelectronic devices and data ... -
Aeons Before the Big Bang?
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-03-24)There is much impressive observational evidence, mainly from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), for an enormously hot and dense early stage of the universe referred to as the Big Bang. Observations of the CMB are now ... -
Aggregation in the Schelling model and inverted biomass pyramids in ecosystems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-06-25)Thomas Schelling proposed a simple spatial model to illustrate how, even with relatively mild assumptions on each individual's nearest neighbor preferences, an integrated city would likely unravel to a segregated city, ... -
Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowships

Algebraic structure of central force problems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-05) -
Alkane fluids confined and compressed by two smooth gold crystalline surfaces: pure liquids and mixtures
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-01-17)With the use of grand canonical molecular dynamics, we studied the slow ompression(0.01m/s) of very thin liquid films made of equimolar mixtures of short and long alkane chains (hexane and hexadecane), and branched and ... -
All-microwave control of hyperfine states in ultracold spin-1 rubidium
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-10-04)The manipulation of quantum spin states in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate is critical for nearly all types of studies in these systems. State control methods are used to initialize the state of the system, apply Hamiltonian ...
