Stockpile stewardship — safeguarding and maintaining nuclear defense materials using modern techniques — is a critical mission of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Maintaining and expanding the necessary physical and human capabilities to complete this mission is driving renewed investments into…
Most people use voice assistant technologies like Alexa or Google Assistant for list making and quick weather updates. But imagine if these technologies could do much more — summarize doctor’s appointments, remind someone to take their medicines, manage their schedule (knowing which events take priority), and not only read a recipe but also create…
Researchers at Georgia Tech and Hanoi University have capitalized on a powerful supercomputer to build a database that could identify new superconducting materials that work at room temperature. The team has identified two possible candidates using new machine learning models they developed and deployed with the capabilities of the San Diego…
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…
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…
