New research from Georgia Tech finds that elephants dilate their nostrils in order to create more space in their trunks, allowing them to store up to nine liters of water. They can also suck up three liters per second a speed 50 times faster than a human sneeze. The findings could inspire different ways to building robots that manipulate air to move or hold things.
Georgia gas stations are working to restock fuel after a cyberattack at an Alpharetta-based pipeline caused gasoline and diesel fuel outages and shortages.
“This attack was bad, but it was nowhere near what it could have been,” said Beyah. “It actually stopped, from what we know, at the IT network, and they just happened to shut down the OT systems.”
During the conversation, Beyah also discussed the challenges in preventing foreign attacks and what can be done to prevent such attacks in the future and the importance of addressing the shortage of cybersecurity professionals in the U.S.

Some people crave routine; not Fredricka Whitfield. The anchor of CNN Newsroom with Fredricka Whitfield, which ranks No. 1 among the coveted 25–54 demographic, says she prefers being on her toes. “It’s the thing I love most about my job,” says Whitfield, a fifty-two-year-old mother of three. “You never know what the day’s going to bring.”
Her work has taken her to such far-flung places as Southeast Asia, where she covered the 2004 tsunami disaster, and Macedonia, where she spent a month in 1999 interviewing refugees. During the latter trip, her stay was extended to the point she almost missed her wedding to Atlanta photojournalist John Glenn. She returned to the States with less than a week in which to buy a dress and dash to the altar. It’s a scenario that would stress even the calmest of brides, but not Whitfield. As she puts it, “Living out of a suitcase and making adjustments is what I’ve done my whole life.”
