In the latest episode of Generating Buzz, Lesley Baradel explores the high-protein food craze and explains how the rise of GLP-1s factors into the increased focus on this essential macronutrient.
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.
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.
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.

Research led by Georgia Tech physicist Itamar Kolvin has found that the presence of small imperfections or heterogeneities in materials can have a dual effect on their strength and resilience. While heterogeneities were historically believed to make materials stronger by creating an obstacle course for cracks, the new study shows that in some complex materials, heterogeneities can actually accelerate crack propagation and weaken the overall structure. The findings have implications for how engineers design and reinforce materials to optimize their toughness.
Atlanta Today February 27, 2026Assistant Professor Zhu-Xi Luo and Ph.D. student Yi-Lin Tsao from Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Physics have demonstrated a novel mechanism for stabilising physical phases vulnerable to topological defects. Their work addresses a fundamental problem in condensed matter physics: the destabilisation of phases like superfluids by thermally-induced defects such as anyons and vortices.
