When cell phones, electric vehicle chargers, or other electronic devices get too hot, performance degrades, and eventually overheating can cause them to shut down or fail. In order to prevent that from happening researchers are working to solve the problem of dissipating heat produced during performance. Heat that is generated in the device during…

<p>Georgia Tech welcomed U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and Assistant Secretary Alejandra Castillo to campus as part of a major announcement. The Georgia Institute of Technology was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) as part of its $1 billion Build Back Better Regional Challenge.</p>

The Georgia Institute of Technology was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) as part of its $1 billion Build Back Better Regional Challenge. Georgia Tech is one of 60 entities to be awarded funding to assist communities nationwide in their efforts to accelerate the rebuilding of…

<p>Black soldier fly larvae act like fluids when agitated by rapid air flow. Georgia Tech researchers are examining how this insect superfood can be raised and fed in dense groups without overheating. Finding optimal air velocity is key.</p>

Black soldier fly larvae devour food waste and other organic matter and are made of 60% protein, making them an attractive sustainable food source in agriculture. But increasingly, black soldier larvae are dying before they reach livestock facilities as animal feed.  Georgia Tech researchers, recognizing the culprit is the collective heat…

<p>Raghupathy “Siva” Sivakumar and Natalie Stingelin </p>

Two Georgia Tech College of Engineering professors are among this year’s Fellows of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). Raghupathy “Siva” Sivakumar and Natalie Stingelin will be inducted at the NAI Annual Meeting this coming June in Phoenix, Arizona. Election to NAI’s fellowship program is the highest professional…

Cancer chemotherapy has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years with traditional treatments like broad-spectrum cytotoxic agents being complemented or replaced by drugs that target specific genes believed to drive the onset and progression of the disease. This more personalized approach to chemotherapy became possible when genomic profiling of…

<p>Latin American forests will almost certainly continue to lose ground to agricultural uses even as timber demand increases over the next 80 years, but changing management practices and more robust growth from global warming will help these smaller forests keep pace with today's larger versions as repositories of climate-warming carbon, according to new research from Georgia Tech's School of Public Policy.</p>

Latin American forests — one of the world’s greatest assets in the fight against climate change — will likely continue to shrink in size and economic clout, but not necessarily in their ability to help fight global warming, according to new research from Georgia Tech’s School of Public Policy (SPP). The study led by environmental economist Alice…

<p>Port congestion is just on of the issues currently disrupting supply chains. </p>

As the 2021 holiday shopping season continues, consumers are once again finding shelves empty, from simple products like cream cheese and sports drinks, to complex goods like cars and appliances. The reason? Supply chain disruptions. While many people have heard the term “supply chain” and know it is the reason behind many product delays, most do…

<p>Eva Dyer, assistant professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University, is principal investigator of the NerDS Lab.</p>

When someone asks Eva Dyer what she does for a living, she has a short and simple answer: “I try to teach machines how to understand the brain.” As the principal investigator of the Neural Data Science Lab — or NerDS Lab — at the Georgia Institute of Technology she leads a diverse team of researchers in developing machine learning approaches to…

Researchers have developed a new general-purpose, high-performance monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) for the direct filtering and processing of radio frequency (RF) signals in the microwave and millimeter-wave spectrum. The IC is designed to meet the need for high-frequency, wideband analog electronics for specialized…

Five Critical Questions About Supply Chain

Supply chain disruptions are not new, but the current disruptions have not only been persistent but have also impacted several industries – and consumers – at the same time. The result has ranged from empty shelves at retail stores to prolonged lead times for consumer products and automobiles. We sat down with three Georgia Tech Scheller College…
