Pamela Bhatti has been appointed as the new Associate Chair for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), effective February 1. She succeeds ECE…
Conventional wisdom says complex structures should be harder to assemble than simple ones. Their assembly requires more information and presents more opportunities to make mistakes. But in nature, complex assemblies…
Glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness, has one modifiable risk factor: ocular hypertension, or elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). If you lower IOP effectively, you can slow progress of the disease.…
There’s a lot to like about perovskite-based solar cells. They are simple and cheap to produce, offer flexibility that could unlock a wide new range of installation methods and places, and in recent years have…
As an organism develops, its endothelial cells organize into complex networks, eventually forming the interior lining of the entire circulatory system, from the heart to the smallest capillary. When endothelial cells…
For decades, a laboratory technique called patch clamping has been the gold standard for measuring the electrical properties of individual cells.
The process, which has been particularly useful in…
Four years ago, Georgia Tech launched the Professional Master’s degree in Manufacturing Leadership (PMML) as a way to energize manufacturing leadership within specific industries. The…
The American Academy of Microbiology (AAM) has elected 109 new…
Waves of annihilation have beaten coral reefs down to a fraction of what they were 40 years ago, and what’s left may be facing creeping death: The effective extinction of many coral species may be weakening reef…
Fairness in machine learning (ML) is becoming one of the most pressing issues in society. This week, more than 500 people are in Atlanta for the Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAT) conference,…
An 18-month federally-sponsored project led by the Georgia Institute of Technology will develop much-needed curriculum to train workers for the fledgling cell manufacturing industry.
Research teams at the…
