Congratulations to environmental science majors Annie Lin and Madeline Weller.

 Retired NASA astronaut R. Shane Kimbrough (M.S. Operations Research 1998) reflects on his career and the evolution of spaceflight.

One day after the historic Artemis II launch, the College of Sciences welcomed more than 150 researchers, students, and community members to its signature Frontiers in Science conference.

Frontiers in Science: Advancing Space Exploration is set for Thursday, April 2, 2026 at Georgia Tech.

This year's Frontiers in Science conference will offer an inspiring look at the future of space exploration and life beyond Earth — from satellites and rovers to bold visions for human exploration. Our 2026 speaker schedule includes more than two dozen leading scientists, engineers, and thought leaders who are pushing the boundaries of what lies beyond.

The finding offers new clues about the oxygen conditions that shaped the Moon’s early environment.

Experts In The News

Researchers have long known that when two galaxies approach each other and merge, the supermassive black holes at their centers form a pair and are eventually expected to merge as well.  It is precisely these mergers that are considered one of the sources of the gravitational-wave background — a faint “hum” of spacetime detected in recent years. However, the role played by the geometry of the collision in this process has remained an open question. 

Graduate student Sena Ghobadi of the Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Physics, along with her colleagues, has developed three-dimensional dynamic models of such collisions.
