Abstract

Electrifying Transportation - Georgia Tech researchers are helping design the electric and electric-hybrid vehicles of tomorrow. They promise a cleaner future in transportation.

A Bright Future for Solar Energy - Georgia Tech is playing an important role in establishing photovoltaics as a leading contender in the search for clean, renewable energy sources. (Includes sidebar story: Why Photovoltaics?)

Taking A Closer Look - New electron microscope facility benefits research in nanotechnology, new materials and microelectronics.

Striking Gold - New materials isolated at Georgia Tech are the first to exhibit charge-quantization effects in a macroscopically obtained material, for which every cluster behaves identically.
