When Super Storm Sandy struck New York State in October 2012, the damage to the state’s electric utility infrastructure was devastating, overwhelming repair and restoration by the distribution system operators (DSOs…
For doctoral students studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics, landing a job as a research-oriented college or university faculty member typically requires having spent time as a postdoctoral…
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is among the most critical public health threats today. As more existing antibiotics lose their ability to battle bacteria, there’s pressure to develop new drugs that can attack the…
The Georgia Institute of Technology has received the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools (ED-GRS) recognition award. This is the first year this prestigious award is being given to institutes of higher…
Access to reliable, cost-effective energy service is essential for supporting quality of life and economic development in communities worldwide. Without electric power even fundamental needs, such as safe …
Thermally-based industrial chemical separation processes such as distillation now account for 10 to 15 percent of the world’s annual energy use. Slaking the global thirst for energy could therefore get a substantial…
When an assembly of microgel particles includes one particle that's significantly larger than the rest, that oversized particle spontaneously shrinks to match the size of its smaller neighbors. This self-healing…
Two ISyE professors, Valerie Thomas (Anderson Interface Professor of Natural Systems) and Sebastian Pokutta (David M. McKenney Family Assistant Professor) are featured in the Research Horizon's article…

The world human population is already more than 7 billion – a number that could exceed 11 billion by 2100, according to projections from the United Nations. This rising populace, coupled with environmental challenges…
At a dirt test track near the Georgia Institute of Technology campus, researchers monitor a scale-model autonomous car as it drifts around corners at a blistering eight meters per second – equivalent to 90 miles per…
In the struggle to improve the performance of mobile devices such as smartphones, extending battery life is just one part of the effort.
System designers must increasingly worry about removing heat, an unwanted…
Researchers have demonstrated proof of concept for a novel low-energy nuclear reaction imaging technique designed to detect the presence of “special nuclear materials” – weapons-grade uranium and plutonium – in cargo…
Have a close-up look at DNA; you’ll see it wiggles in the oddest way.
Put more scientifically, a piece of DNA’s movements are often counterintuitive to those of objects in our everyday grasp. Take a rod…
The crucibles that bore out early building blocks of life may have been, in many cases, modest puddles.
Now, researchers…
“SAA has been steadily growing over the past few years, leading to a $4,000 increase in this year’s Gift to Tech donation,” said Daisy Smith, SAA President and third-year biomedical engineering major. “This is…
