A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and ExxonMobil has demonstrated a new carbon-based molecular sieve membrane that could dramatically reduce the energy required to separate a class of…
Using a unique single-molecule force measurement tool, a research team has developed a clearer understanding of how platelets sense the mechanical forces they encounter during bleeding to initiate the cascading…
Smart devices that wake up with voice commands have gained popularity in recent years, and now researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have taken it one step farther: an always-on camera.
Designed with…
Michael Oxman comes to Tech from Acorn International LLC in Houston, Texas, to serve as managing director of the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business.
In ocean expanses where oxygen has vanished, newly discovered bacteria are diminishing additional life molecules. They are helping make virtual dead zones even deader.
It’s natural for bacteria to…
A $9.4 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) could lead to development of a new technique for wirelessly monitoring Internet of Things (IoT) devices for malicious software – without…
It would be no surprise to anyone to hear that China is well into a building boom. The nation is very rapidly urbanizing due to its expanding manufacturing sector. Large cities are being constructed from…
In tough times, humans aren’t the only species that think twice about having children. Consider roundworm strain LSJ2.
Though it can’t think – much less think twice -- about anything, the laboratory worm…
A new wrinkle on an old technology – solid-state thermophotovoltaics (TPV) – could provide a high-efficiency alternative for directly converting high-temperature heat from concentrated solar thermal to utility-scale…
When the U.S. Army updates the defensive and offensive software on its UH60M Black Hawk and AH64D Apache helicopters, the improved systems must be fully tested to make sure they’re working properly. That includes…
A couple of times in four billion years, evolution has slowed to a crawl. And an eon or so has passed before more complex life forms, such as simple animals, could arise.
Evolution may have been waiting for a…
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a method to recycle nearly 100 percent of the materials in certain types of thermoset carbon fiber composites.
The new method involves soaking the…
A novel three-dimensional solar cell design developed at Georgia Tech will soon get its first testing in space aboard the International Space Station. An experimental module containing 18 test cells was launched to…
Baratunde Cola would like to put sand into your computer. Not beach sand, but silicon dioxide nanoparticles coated with a high dielectric constant polymer to inexpensively provide improved cooling for increasingly…
The Northeast Pacific’s largest marine heatwave on record was at least in part caused by El Niño climate patterns. And unusually warm water events in that ocean could potentially become more frequent with rising…
In June 2016, Georgia Tech and the Georgia Tech Research Institute released a report entitled “…
The Center for Serve - Learn - Sustain has compiled a list of S-L-S Core Courses, as well as affiliated sustainability related courses for the 2016/2017 academic year. Check them out at the…
When early terrestrial animals began moving about on mud and sand 360 million years ago, the powerful tails they used as fish may have been more important than scientists previously realized. That’s one conclusion…
