April is Earth Month with a full calendar of events open to the campus community.

Wise, a professor in the School of Physics and director of the Center for Relativistic Astrophysics, spoke to how the James Webb Space Telescope has impacted astrophysics and our understanding of the formation of galaxies and black holes — a research area he specializes in at Georgia Tech.

Scientists at Georgia Tech have teamed up with the University of Southern California (USC), University of Pennsylvania, Texas A&M, Oregon State, Temple University, and NASA Johnson Space Center to teach dog-like robots to navigate craters of the Moon and other challenging planetary surfaces in research funded by NASA.

While outside of the path of totality, the Georgia Tech community can still take part in the historic April total solar eclipse.  

Georgia Tech is supporting career growth for its research faculty, who do critical work at the heart of the research enterprise.

Chunhui (Rita) Du has been awarded a $652,965 grant by the U.S. Department of Energy for her research into quantum sensing. “The project has the potential to make important contributions to the burgeoning field of quantum materials,” says Du, “and to significantly promote the role of topological magnets in developing next-generation, transformative information technologies.”

Set to open this fall, a permanent tribute will celebrate an inaugural group of 70 graduates, as well as 98 women and events with historical significance to the Institute.

12 grad students named as finalists for 2024 Three Minute Thesis Competition.

The two-year grant will support McShan’s innovative research on lipid-based immunotherapies, which could help develop the next generation of universal immunotherapies.

Science and Engineering Day at the Institute included more than 45 exhibitions and interactive demonstrations, hosted by Tech faculty, staff, and students. The highlight of the event was a presentation by alumnus and former NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough, who shared with audiences his experience of living and working in space. 

A new study co-led by School of Psychology's Anna (Anya) Ivanova uncovers the relationship between language and thought in artificial intelligence models like ChatGPT, leveraging cognitive neuroscience research on the human brain. The results are a roadmap to developing new AIs — and to better understanding how we think and communicate.

Georgia Tech researchers are teaming up with NASA to study bacteria on the International Space Station to help define how scientists and healthcare professionals combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria for long-duration space missions.
