As a youth growing up in southern Maryland, Oliver Myers would lose himself in science fiction and wonder if he could build an X-wing fighter or create a force field like the one that protected the U.S.S. Enterprise. Wysheka Austin was a student at Easley High School when a career center principal saw her math […]
Top researchers from across the country are developing new technology to control an unusual property of light that could make it possible to channel through fog, murky water and thermal turbulence, potentially leading to new ways of communicating and gathering data. The research brings together researchers from six universities and is led by Eric Johnson, […]
