It is the highest degree of membership awarded by the society. "I look forward to giving back to the physics community, supporting the mission of the society, and working to remind the next generation that physics is for everyone," says Kamerlin.
Benjamin Freeman
The fellowship is one of the most competitive and prestigious awards available to early-career scholars, and will support Freeman as he studies birds worldwide from Appalachia to Ecuador, investigating how mountain species respond to a changing climate — and how to facilitate their survival. 
“Cracks are complex — they interact with the material, change shape, and respond dynamically," says Kolvin. "All of this affects the overall toughness, and that impacts safety.” (Adobe Stock)

Research from Georgia Tech is showing how cracks occur and spread through materials — and how best to prevent them.

Created by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, the award provides continuity funding to support early-career researchers pursuing programs focused on training the next generation of scientists.

The study underscores the potential of NMR and other powerful technologies as outreach opportunities – from engaging the public, to better teaching undergraduate students.

New work from Georgia Tech is showing how a simple glass of wine can serve as a powerful gateway for understanding advanced research and technologies.

A special issue of Pure and Applied Functional Analysis honors mathematician School of Mathematics Regents' Professor Leonid Bunimovich on his 75th birthday. 

Bunimovich's pioneering contributions have shaped modern dynamical systems. He is best known for discovering a fundamental mechanism of chaos in dynamical systems, including systems of chaotic billiards such as the Bunimovich stadium, Bunimovich flowers, and elliptic flowers. Learn about his research in this 2023 news story: Bringing Understanding to Chaotic Dynamics with Billiards, Flowers, and ... Mushrooms?

If you’ve walked the aisles of a grocery store, scrolled through social media, watched television, or set foot in a fast-casual restaurant chain in recent months, you know that protein is having its moment.

So, why are brands pushing protein? An International Food Information Council study found that 70% of adults are looking to increase their protein intake. But as it makes its way into more products than ever before, is it too much of a good thing?

Lesley Baradel is a registered dietitian, nutritionist, and lecturer in the College of Sciences at Georgia Tech. In this episode of "Generating Buzz", she digs into the protein-packed trend, with implications ranging from health and wellness to marketing and how the rise of GLP-1s factors into the increased focus on the macronutrient.
