Georgia Tech researchers have been selected by NASA to lead a $7.5 million center that will study the lunar environment, and explore the generation and properties of volatiles and dust. 

Cheung’s research has the potential to improve medical treatments — including many cancer treatments — and also to help create plants that are more resilient to climate change, which could help feed communities of the future. Sponberg’s research into agile movement also has medical applications — potentially changing the way we approach physical therapy for degenerative diseases — as well as a number of other applications, including building better robots.

The Board of Regents (BOR) of the University System of Georgia (USG) voted Tuesday to maintain tuition and mandatory student fees at current levels for most USG institutions, including Georgia Tech, in the 2023-24 academic year. 

Transportation is now the state's leading emitter of greenhouse gases, eclipsing energy production.

New Relic executive Tia Williams was one of the first Earth and Atmospheric Sciences undergraduates at Georgia Tech. Now, she’s unveiling ways for current students to map their College of Sciences skills — and recently delivered the keynote at the College’s Spring Student and Alumni Leadership Dinner. 

A team of Georgia Tech researchers has built an automatic feeding machine for gorillas at Zoo Atlanta that allows the primates to more naturally forage for food. Their ForageFeeder replaces the zoo’s previous feeding protocols, which had staff deliver food to the habitat at set times and locations.

Georgia Tech Ph.D. Candidate James X. Zhong Manis is one of 87 awardees from 58 different universities who will conduct thesis research at one of 16 DOE national laboratories. For Manis, that lab will be the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) at Stanford University.  

The honor for Agarwal, an assistant professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, comes on the heels of a recent NSF CAREER Award. Both recognize Agarwal’s marine natural products studies and his commitment to bring more undergraduates along on his research journey.  

To investigate how multicellular life evolves from scratch, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology decided to take evolution into their own hands. Led by William Ratcliff, associate professor in the School of Biological Sciences and director of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Quantitative Biosciences, a team of researchers has initiated the first long-term evolution experiment aimed at evolving new kinds of multicellular organisms from single-celled ancestors in the lab.

Following in the early footsteps of esteemed Nobel laureates, national leaders, and esteemed faculty, 38 of Tech’s graduate students have just been awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF GRF). 

Six proposals from the College of Sciences will evolve existing courses, create new ones to include the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals — a key part of Georgia Tech’s Sustainability Next initiative.
