Dallas Morning News covered Georgia Tech research into a new compound with anti-tumor and anti-fungal activity. Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biology Julia Kubanek and collaborators at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography reported the findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The trade publication Sea Technology also covered the research. (See the Research News article at
gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/newsrelease/seaweed.htm).
Business Week's "Developments to Watch" section covered Georgia Tech research on a lower-temperature process for producing hydrogen for home and automotive fuel cells. Professor Z.L. Wang in the School of Materials Science and Engineering leads the research. Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering Progress, Industry Week and In Tech also covered this research. (See the Research News article at

Governing magazine covered Georgia Tech's work on recycling used electronic equipment. The research, conducted by Professor Jane Ammons in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Associate Professor Matthew Realff in the School of Chemical Engineering, aims at developing a system to "demanufacture" electronic equipment to remove toxic materials. Science and Children, the Atlanta Business Chronicle and Industrial Engineer also covered this research. (See the RESEARCH HORIZONS article at
gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/reshor/rh-f02/ewaste.html).
Machine Design reported on robotics research being done by GTRI senior research engineer Tom Collins and College of Computing Regents Professor Ron Arkin. The researchers are creating more intelligent robots by combining reflexive behavior with cognitive functioning. (See the RESEARCH HORIZONS article at
