As communities continue a shift toward normalcy in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, researchers in Georgia Tech’s H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering have helped quantify the effectiveness of one of the most commonly-debated mitigation measures taken across the country. A new study published in BMC Public Health…
Material coming from a Princeton research lab is full of holes — but that's a good thing. Designed to mimic bone, wood, and other natural materials, the porous objects are lighter than traditional products and can be strategically inserted into structures to provide higher stiffness in areas with high demand. These porous structures, created by…
Ban evasion is a problem for users, moderators, and platforms alike. Evaders torment users on popular websites and get banned by moderators, only to return under a new account to continue their malicious behavior. Students and faculty at Georgia Tech’s College of Computing published a study that can help online moderators stop…
IDEaS is one of Georgia Tech's 10 interdisciplinary research institutes within the Georgia Tech Research enterprise. What is your field of expertise and why did you choose it? Growing up, I liked design as a hobby from designing posters to making websites, and I also liked engineering and computer science. As I was…
In a multidisciplinary project, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia Tech-Lorraine used terahertz imaging and signal processing techniques to look beneath the corroded surface of a 16th-century lead funerary cross. Led by David Citrin, a professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), the effort…
At the direction of Congress, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is establishing a Climate Security Roundtable convening experts from academia, the private sector, and civil society to provide support to the Climate Security Advisory Council (CSAC). CSAC is a joint partnership between the U.S. Intelligence Community and…
The Georgia Institute of Technology is among a collaborative team of institutions awarded a $5 million OpenCI grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to help support the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem Services and Support (ACCESS) program. ACCESS is the NSF’s next generation research cyberinfrastructure support…
What distinguishes living matter from nonliving matter? Many scientists agree that it is open-ended evolution: life’s ability to continually evolve and flourish within its environment. When chemical matter gained the ability to evolve, it produced a stunning array of molecular structures and functions, giving rise to life on Earth. Advances in…
This news by Steve Koppes first appeared in the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography newsroom. The way long, thin streams of hot semi-molten rocks move far below the Earth’s surface may partially solve a major, decades-long mystery of geology. That is one of the findings in a study published in…
The rising sea levels along Georgia’s Savannah coast and an uptick in more severe storms during hurricane season are bellwethers to looming ecological challenges stemming from climate change. Ongoing research to study sea level rise led by Georgia Tech researchers, a coalition of universities, Savannah and Chatham County government leaders, and…
