A weather radar system purchased by the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia could lead to improved weather forecasting in North Georgia – and provide both expanded educational opportunities for students and enhanced research capabilities for the two institutions. “The radar would be used collaboratively to provide…
The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have announced a new collaboration focused on critical infrastructure cybersecurity innovation through the launch of a joint institute, the Institute for Cybersecurity and Resilient Infrastructure Studies (ICARIS). The goal of the institute is…
Cats always land on their feet, but what makes them so agile? Their unique sense of balance has more in common with humans than it may appear. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are studying cat locomotion to better understand how the spinal cord works to help humans with partial spinal cord damage walk and maintain balance. Using…
Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is a leader in the field of chemical and biomolecular engineering. Its mission is to create a better future by transforming people, ideas, processes and products through research and innovations that will transform the lives of its students and generate…
Georgia Tech Receives $65 Million Grant from Semiconductor Research Corporation for JUMP 2.0 Centers
Intelligent machines and AI characters that can interact seamlessly and intimately with human beings will have wide-ranging effects on society – in healthcare, search and rescue, business and defense, and even recreation. The technology is not very far off, and a massive national effort, led in part by Georgia Tech researchers, is charting the…
Though it is a cornerstone of virtually every process that occurs in living organisms, the proper folding and transport of biological proteins is a notoriously difficult and time-consuming process to experimentally study. In a new paper published in eLife, researchers in the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Computer Science have…
A pressing quest in the field of nanoelectronics is the search for a material that could replace silicon. Graphene has seemed promising for decades. But its potential faltered along the way, due to damaging processing methods and the lack of a new electronics paradigm to embrace it. With silicon nearly maxed out in its ability to accommodate…
Imagine messaging an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot about a missing package and getting the response that it would be “delighted” to help. Once the bot creates the new order, they say they are “happy” to resolve the issue. After, you receive a survey about your interaction, but would you be likely to rate it as positive or negative? This…
For the second consecutive year, the Georgia Institute of Technology has garnered a spot among the 20 universities in the U.S. with the highest amount of research and development (R&D) spending. Georgia Tech ranked No. 20, based on the annual Higher Education Research and Development Survey conducted by the National Science…
Any surgical procedure comes with a degree of risk for patients. But there’s also stress for the surgical team who must adhere to strict protocols and procedures to ensure positive safe patient surgical outcomes. Among the worries: accidentally burning a patient or operating room staff or setting fire to the surgical table draping. Although rare…
