Saad Bhamla was in his backyard when he saw something he had never seen before: an insect urinating. Though nearly impossible to see, the insect formed an almost perfectly round droplet on its tail and then launched it away so quickly that it seemed…
Clean energy is the leading solution for climate change. But solar and wind power are inconsistent at producing enough energy for a reliable power grid. Alternatively, lithium-ion batteries can store energy but are a limited resource.
Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) and Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) recently selected Martha Grover, PhD, for a joint appointment. Grover is a professor and the associate chair for graduate studies at Georgia Tech’s…
Gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel — the most commonly used transportation fuels — are among the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and their use is affecting the climate in significant and long-term ways. A new national report, however,…
