- Nano-Manhattan: 3D Solar Cells Boost Efficiency While Reducing Size, Weight and Complexity of Photovoltaic Arrays
(9mb)
Thu, 11 Oct 2007 9:46:00 EST
Unique three-dimensional solar cells that capture nearly all of the light that strikes them could boost the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems while reducing their size, weight and mechanical complexity. - Flying on Hydrogen: Georgia Tech Researchers Use Fuel Cells to Power Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (4mb)
Wed, 11 Oct 2006 11:00:21 EST
Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have conducted successful test flights of a hydrogen-powered unmanned aircraft believed to be the largest to fly on a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell using compressed hydrogen. - Improving Medical Devices: Research Center Expands Testing Capabilities to Help Reduce Potential Interference (0mb)
Thu, 17 Aug 2006 11:45:21 EST
In our increasingly wireless world, the air is full of electromagnetic signals carrying data from one place to another. While these new technologies advance our options in security, commerce and entertainment, they also produce potential interference that may cause concern for people with implanted medical devices. - Accessibility Analysis: GTRI Evaluates Products' Usability for People with Disabilities (6mb)
Thu, 22 Jun 2006 14:45:21 EST
When the designers of photocopiers, ATMs, cell phones, televisions, printers, scanners and other equipment need help determining how well these devices can be used by people with disabilities, they can turn to the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). - Crisis Talk: Georgia Tech Helps Implement Statewide Interoperable Communications System (6mb)
Wed, 21 Jun 2006 09:50:21 EST
When a crisis occurs, it's critical for public-safety officials to coordinate their efforts. The Georgia Tech Research Institute is helping implement a statewide communications system that enables interoperability among public-safety agencies. - Carbon Motors and Georgia Tech Sign Agreement to Collaborate on World's First "Purpose-Built" Vehicle for Law Enforcement Agencies (4mb)
Fri, 21 Apr 2006 08:00:21 EST
Officials from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Carbon Motors Corporation - a new U.S. automaker that has announced plans to locate in Georgia - have signed an agreement to collaborate on developing the world's first vehicle built expressly for law enforcement agencies. - A First Responder's Best Friend - The Chemical Companion helps hazmat teams make critical decisions. (1mb)
Tue, 11 Apr 2006 08:30:21 EST
When dealing with hazardous materials - whether from a truck spill or a terrorist attack - information is critical. Before first responders can begin to aid victims and decontaminate a scene, they must determine what substances are present and understand the inherent risks to humans and the environment. To help first responders and hazardous materials (hazmat) teams, GTRI researchers have developed the "Chemical Companion." This software tool, which operates on Windows based personal digital assistants, provides detailed information on 130 of the most common chemicals associated with hazmat incidents.
