#StraightToTheSource Cuts through Covid-19 Confusion, Finds the Facts with Faculty Experts

The social media campaign #StraightToTheSource answered the community's questions by directly examining scientific findings with Georgia Tech experts.

The above schematic illustrates a conjugated polymer film in an electrochemical cell. The film is imbibed with a variety of charged species – both electronic and ionic. The increasing applied potential (shown as a voltage dial) triggers a redox process that changes the charge density in the polymer. The authors investigate the changes occurring in the polymer throughout the redox process using sophisticated optical technique involving two lasers – one that is a single energy to excite the sample (green

Research Sheds Light on the Underlying Operating Mechanism of Polymer-based Electrochemical Cells

Chemists and materials scientists team up to investigate the nature of electrochemically induced charges in redox-active conjugated polymers.

GRE Waived for Fall 2021 Graduate Admissions across College of Sciences; Several Schools and Programs Permanently Drop the Exam Requirement

The Graduate Record Examination will not be required for fall 2021 application into any College of Sciences graduate program. Additionally, three Sciences schools and two graduate programs have opted to permanently #GRExit.
