Monday’s solar eclipse gave Tech students a unique way to mark the first day of fall classes. It also provided a look at the scientific research associated with this celestial event, and it may have inspired younger minds to consider science in their futures.

Georgia Tech interdisciplinary graduate program in QBioS welcomes second cohort

Atlanta experienced 97 percent coverage during Monday’s solar eclipse. But as seasoned eclipse chasers warned, “close is not close enough.” That’s why many of Georgia Tech’s planetary researchers, and others, travelled away from campus to visit the narrow path of totality throughout the country. We asked them what they saw and felt during the celestial event.

The last blockbuster of the summer season promises to be more spectacular than any movie about superheroes or shape-shifting robots. This particular show has been going on since human history has been recorded, and it’s back once again to thrill and educate everyone, including the Georgia Tech community.

A team of Georgia Institute of Technology researchers has created an original music composition for Monday’s eclipse. The Georgia Tech Sonification Lab uses drums, synthesized tones and other sounds to symbolize the movements of the sun and moon and the gradual darkness they will produce during the August 21 event. The audio experience, which at times sounds both hopeful and ominous as it builds anticipation toward the moment of the total eclipse, includes several segments.

Gigi Pavur will look out into the faces of almost 4,000 Tech freshmen, transfer students, and parents, and officially welcome them into the Georgia Tech community on Sunday

CEISMC has been awarded a two-year  National Science Foundation (NSF) grant of $426,500 to explore social networks and self-efficacy as factors influencing the retention of Noyce teachers in high-needs schools. Funded by NSF, the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program recruits and prepares highly effective K-12 STEM educators to teach in high-needs schools

A flick of a switch, and electrochromic films change their colors. Now they can be applied more safely and more commonly thanks to an innovative chemical process that makes them water soluble. They can be sprayed and printed, instead of being confined behind safety implements to handle volatile and toxic fumes.
