Today, the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) announced a new three-year financial commitment by Visa, the world leader in digital payments, to further accelerate innovation across financial and payments technologies (FinTech). ATDC, the state of Georgia’s technology incubator,…
The Nano Group at the Georgia Tech Research Institute develops novel applications for carbon nanotubes and graphene based on their highly distinct electrical and physical properties. This group has developed thriving partnerships both in industry and government that led to research across a variety of ranging from functional fabrics…
Undergraduate engineering students interested in research typically enroll at Georgia Tech with an eye on joining a lab within its eight schools. Their long-term goal is to write and submit a study, hoping for an eventual publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Rohan Datta, however, reversed the usual timeline. The 18-year-old recently graduated…
For GTRI Senior Research Scientist David "Pearl" Picinich, the debut of "Top Gun: Maverick" marks a nostalgic close to an action-packed chapter in his life story. Picinich, who retired from the U.S. Navy in 2019 as a naval aviator, put his flight skills to use in the long-awaited sequel to the 1986 action drama "Top Gun," where he scouted…
Therapeutics based on messenger RNA, or mRNA, can potentially treat a wide range of maladies, including cancer, genetic diseases, and as the world has learned in recent years, deadly viruses. To work, these drugs must be delivered directly to target cells in nanoscale bubbles of fat called lipid nanoparticles, or LNPs — mRNA isn’t much good if…
Work from Georgia Tech’s Munmun De Choudhury done nearly a decade ago, however, is holding up. In fact, she and her co-authors from Microsoft Research were just awarded the inaugural Web Science Trust Test of Time Award. Presented at the 14th Annual ACM Web Science Conference, being held this week in …
In 2019, when School of Psychology Professor Ruth Kanfer was working on a book that would feature the latest science regarding an aging and age-diverse workforce, Kanfer and her three co-authors wanted to write a manual of sorts for supervisors, human resources managers, and organizational leaders, not necessarily academics and scholars. …
Snakes and lizards have distinct body movement patterns. Lizards bend from side to side as they retract their legs to walk or run. Snakes, on the other hand, slither and undulate, like a wave that travels down the body. However, there are species of lizards that have long, snakelike bodies, and limbs so tiny even scientists have wondered about…
Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) and the Georgia Institute of Technology appointed Margaret E. Kosal to a joint faculty position, the first of such kind between SRNL and Georgia Tech. Kosal will use her expertise and focus on reducing the threat of weapons of mass destruction and understanding the role of emerging technologies for…
A robot operating with a popular internet-based artificial intelligence system consistently gravitates to men over women, white people over people of color, and jumps to conclusions about peoples' jobs after a glance at their face. The work, led by Johns Hopkins University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of Washington…
