Aircrews flying in hostile airspace must often make split-second decisions responding to the threats they may encounter. A new defensive system planned for installation on C-130H transport aircraft integrates on-board and off-board information about those threats into a single display, allowing crewmembers to rapidly understand and respond to the…
The summer of 2023 has just been energized! The Energy, Policy, and Innovation Center (EPICenter) hosted the 2023 cohort of "Energy Unplugged," an energy-themed Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) camp for high school students at the Georgia Tech campus. Rich Simmons, director of Research and Studies at the Strategic Energy…
The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is renowned for its exceptional problem-solving capability, specifically in the realm of national defense. GTRI endeavors to dissect intricate defense problems and deliver viable solutions. One group at GTRI that has particularly embraced this challenge is the Strategic Sustainment Team (SST), which…
Chikita Sanders, a research associate at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), was recently looking for her next professional challenge – something that would sharpen her technical skills and widen her industry knowledge, but wouldn’t require her to pursue another advanced degree. Sanders found the perfect fit in GTRI’s Professional…
A good battery needs two things: high energy density to power devices, and stability, so it can be safely and reliably recharged thousands of times. For the past three decades, lithium-ion batteries have reigned supreme — proving their performance in smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles.But battery researchers have begun to approach the…
Polymers are well known macromolecules in materials science and engineering communities, but most of us may not be aware of how often we’re touching, using, and interfacing with these materials. Polymers can be engineered to have desired properties such as flexibility, water-resistance, or electrical conductivity. Non-stick cookware and…
The Georgia Institute of Technology has created a new position to ensure research compliance within the research enterprise. Carpantato (Tanta) T. Myles will serve as the first associate vice president for Research Integrity Assurance (AVP-RIA) starting Aug. 1. The AVP-RIA is responsible for the Institute’s overall strategy to ensure research…
From the thousands of feet of frozen glaciers to the rising seas off Savannah’s coast, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers are measuring, modeling, and predicting just how climate change is impacting our oceans. The Tide Is High: Generating Energy From Waves, Tides, and Currents Solar and wind power have been used as renewable…
A new “stress test” method created by a Georgia Tech researcher allows programmers to more easily determine if trained visual recognition models are sensitive to input changes or rely too heavily on context clues to perform their tasks. Viraj Prabhu, a Ph.D. student in Georgia Tech’s School of Interactive Computing, introduced the LANCE (Language…
The amount of published materials science research is growing at an exponential rate, too fast for scientists to keep up. To help these scholars, a first-of-its-kind materials science data extraction pipeline is now available to make their research easier and faster. The pipeline extracts material property records from published papers and…
