Recently several professors at the School of Physics have published papers sharing their research with the scientific community.

"Chaos Breeds Order"
"Haystacks Make great hiding places, as long as you don't expect to ever find your needle again. Georgia Tech researchers Rajarshi Roy and Gregory VanWiggeren may have solved that problem. Their new data-encryption method uses a laser to stash sensitive data -the needle-in chaotic waves of light, seemingly as scambled and indecipherable as any haystack. But the wave patterns can be reproduced by a receiver that is precisely tuned and timed to the transmitter's particular brand of chaos. Insiders can subtract one chaotic wave from the other, retrieving the message from mess - while would-be data thieves are left thrashing in the straw."

The complete paper, Communication with Chaotic Lasers by Gregory D. VanWiggeren and Rajarshi Roy was published in the February 20, 1998 edition of Science, Vol. 279.
