Most people never think about paper as an engineered material. But at Georgia Tech Renewable Bioproducts Institute, researchers test paper and other products to provide data that companies use to assess quality, compare materials, and guide product development. b.gatech.edu/4bUvsuc
Georgia Tech has launched the Parker H. Petit Center for AI-Driven Health Innovation. The new center will use AI to model disease, accelerate treatments, and advance personalized medicine, helping move discoveries from lab to patient care. b.gatech.edu/4vKi0QO
Stayed dry during the World Cup? Thank Georgia Tech. A lightning tracking system operated by the Severe Storms Research Center at the Georgia Tech Research Institute was providing weather forecasters information that could help protect the fans. ⚽️ b.gatech.edu/4wAsvqO
Monitoring online vape marketing is like a game of Whack-A-Mole, but Georgia Tech Research Institute researchers are using AI to track the latest smart devices. b.gatech.edu/4bobLuC
Georgia Tech researchers created a fully synthetic gel designed to give intestinal stem cells exactly what they need to grow and organize into healthy tissue. This opens the door to future medical applications, from personalized drug testing to regenerative therapies. b.gatech.edu/4hg97L4
On July 5, a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency spacecraft soared past an asteroid containing some of the oldest known materials in the solar system, and @gatechengineers.bsky.social professor helped guide the mission. b.gatech.edu/44kb81t
The future of brain health monitoring may happen while you sleep. Georgia Tech created a soft, wireless wearable that could help unlock new insights into sleep, cognitive function, and neurological health from home. b.gatech.edu/3TpQeeQ
The first cohort of Quadrant-i learned more than just how to run a startup but the vital soft skills needed. From incorporating their personal beach volleyball hobbies in presentations to implementing customer discovery, these soft skills make startups thrive. b.gatech.edu/4pi4fXZ
New Georgia Tech research is engineering living cells that can reshape their environment, a breakthrough that could improve cell-based therapies for type 1 diabetes. b.gatech.edu/4vdskQU
Congrats to the new Georgia Tech Institute for Matter and Systems seed grant winners, who will have the opportunity to access the most advanced academic cleanroom space in the Southeast for original and unfunded research in micro- and nanoscale science and engineering! b.gatech.edu/3SFl6b4
A new @departmentofenergy.bsky.social award will help Georgia Tech lead a regional effort to identify, recover, and reuse materials essential to energy, manufacturing, and national security. b.gatech.edu/4xVN5Dq
Refining crude oil uses massive amounts of energy. Now, a GT-led team has shown that membranes can selectively separate crude into lighter and heavier fractions before distillation — a breakthrough that could slash refining energy use, water consumption, and CO₂ emissions. b.gatech.edu/3R9ltKw.
Experts from the Georgia Tech @gatechengineers.bsky.social weigh in on how electrical and computer engineering is enabling the technology behind the World Cup. b.gatech.edu/4f5S78Z
Spherephones, a Georgia Tech invention, is a wearable system designed to turn movement around you into music you can anticipate. b.gatech.edu/4uSziL5
Congrats to Suhas Jain, who received a NSF CAREER Award. me.gatech.edu/news/suhas-j...
Researchers at Georgia Tech have found that a common pesticide disrupts reproduction and gene expression in bumblebees. b.gatech.edu/4vqw6Y6
Up to one in three women experience heavy menstrual bleeding, but it’s understudied and often misdiagnosed. Georgia Tech researchers are testing whether hidden clotting disorders play a role, aiming for faster diagnosis and non-hormonal treatments. b.gatech.edu/4g0tHyO
The moon may look unchanged from afar, but its surface is constantly reshaped by microscopic impacts and a steady stream of particles from the sun, a process known as space weathering. Now, GT researchers have recreated one of those weathering sources, solar wind, in the lab. 🌖 b.gatech.edu/4aRR0XQ
As Atlanta welcomes the world for @fifaworldcup-x.bsky.social, the promises are familiar: millions of visitors, global attention, economic growth, and a chance to showcase the city. But GT experts say the real question is who benefits from it and what remains after. b.gatech.edu/4xvfz6S
AI can streamline government services, but it can also reinforce existing biases. Research from Georgia Tech shows that involving stakeholders early in system design can help identify and reduce bias before it spreads. b.gatech.edu/3Qs6URX
A new mobile app from @gtcomputing.bsky.social turns smartphones into controllers for robot arms. With a secure Wi-Fi connection to a server, users can move their phones in any direction, and the robot arm will mirror the motion — from anywhere in the world. b.gatech.edu/4amVVQr
Researchers have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein’s DNA repair process. The research could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations that heighten the risk for breast, ovarian, and other cancers. b.gatech.edu/4fuNJBe
AR devices like smart glasses may soon be able to predict where a user will look and provide an enhanced interactive experience. New @gtcomputing.bsky.social research tracks and predicts user gaze from a first-person perspective in 3D environments. b.gatech.edu/4fmsNfB
A technology developed at Georgia Tech allowed an Atlanta eye doctor to treat eye inflammation directly at its source, improving treatment and vision for patients. #ResearchforRealLife 👁️ b.gatech.edu/43eDQ36
Congrats to @gatechengineers.bsky.social's John Blazeck, who has won a NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for his work on creating and evolving antibodies from scratch in yeast. b.gatech.edu/3RIWYDW
.@gatechengineers.bsky.social researchers developed ferroelectric NAND flash that withstands up to 30× more radiation than conventional memory — paving the way for AI-enabled spacecraft to reliably store and process data in deep-space environments. b.gatech.edu/4vk1uYa
A @gtsciences.bsky.social-led project was selected for Revive & Restoire's inaugural $3.4M Climate Resilience Fund to advance coastal resilience.
