No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Zhong Lin WangTriboelectrics, or contact electrification, happens when certain materials pick up electrons when they come into frictional contact with other kinds of materials. It's become a nascent field of science, and analysts at IDTechEx have published a summary of the latest work in triboelectrics. That includes nanogenerators based on ocean wave power researched by Zhong Wang, an adjunct professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Wang is also the director of the Center for Nanostructure Characterization, and is the Hightower Chair in the School of Materials Science and Engineering.
