Scientists
at the Georgia Institute of Technology recently achieved a 17% increase
in boiling efficiency by using an acoustic field to enhance heat
transfer. The acoustic field does this by efficiently removing vapor
bubbles from the heated surface and suppressing the formation of an
insulating vapor film.

A new study shows that the availability of hydrogen plays a significant role in determining the chemical and structural makeup of graphene oxide. The study also found that after the material is produced, its structural and chemical properties continue to evolve for more than a month as a result of continuing chemical reactions with hydrogen.

A Georgia Institute of Technology research team has developed a novel
technology that could change how industry designs and casts complex,
costly
metal parts. This new casting method makes possible faster prototype
development times, as well as more efficient and cost-effective
manufacturing
procedures after a part moves to mass production.

New research findings show that embryonic stem cells unable to fully compact the DNA inside them cannot complete their primary task: differentiation into specific cell types that give rise to the various types of tissues and structures in the body. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University found that chromatin compaction is required for proper embryonic stem cell differentiation to occur.

Georgia Institute of Technology has been awarded $3.1 million from the U.S. Department of Energy for research and scholarships focused on nuclear energy. The money will go to three research projects focused on developing new and advanced nuclear reactor designs and technologies, while addressing their cost, safety, and security.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a way to automate the process of finding and recording information from neurons in the living brain. The researchers have shown that a robotic arm guided by a cell-detecting computer algorithm can identify and record from neurons in the living mouse brain with better accuracy and speed than a human experimenter.

Among terrorism scenarios that raise the most concern are attacks involving nuclear devices or materials. For that reason, technology that can effectively detect smuggled radioactive materials is considered vital to U.S. security. To support that nation's nuclear-surveillance capabilities, researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology are developing ways to enhance the radiation-detection devices used at ports, border crossings, airports, and elsewhere.

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and University of
California,
San Francisco
have advanced scientists' ability to view a clear picture of a single
cellular
structure in motion. By identifying molecules using compressed sensing,
this
new method provides needed spatial resolution plus a faster temporal
resolution
than previously possible.

Using lasers to excite just one atom from a cloud of ultracold rubidium
gas,
physicists have developed a new way to rapidly and efficiently create
single
photons for potential use in optical quantum information processing—and
in the
study of dynamics and disorder in certain physical systems.
