Researchers in Georgia Tech's School of Electrical and Computer "Engineering have shown that a new class of ultraviolent photodiode could help in the development of compact, reliable and cost-effective sensors to detect anthrax and other bioterrorism agents in the air. New research shows that ultraviolent avalanche photodiodes offer the high gain and reliability needed to detect these agents and help authorities rapidly contain an incident like the 2001 anthrax attacks. ECE professors Douglas Yoder, Shyh-Chiang Shen and Jae-Hyun Ryou collaborated on this research.
