Georgia Tech researchers have developed a breakthrough system to manufacture valuable amino acids. It’s the most efficient system of its kind — and removes more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits.
Over 50 demonstrations took place throughout the day, and guest speakers shared insights into how STEAM is shaping the future.
Because of Tech Promise, Luis Delgado and Nick Fabrizio were able to dream big and set their sights on Georgia Tech.
Laura Cadonati, professor in the School of Physics and associate dean for Research in the College of Sciences, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the American Physical Society.
The researchers suggest that carbon removal can have clear benefits on the road to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but it needs more oversight to be responsibly adopted at large scales.
Georgia Tech researcher Nick Housley is developing a drug‑delivery system designed to send cancer treatments directly to tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Early preclinical results show that the nanohydrogels successfully concentrated drugs at tumor sites, and Housley’s team is now preparing for broader testing to move the technology toward clinical trials.

Alex Robel, an associate professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, said pumping sand onshore is far from a perfect solution to stabilize a beach, but it’s “one of the best tools we have in our arsenal.”
“It’s been done in the United States for almost a century in different places and we know how to do it,” Robel said. “We’re good at it.”
But nourishment is only a Band-Aid for erosion. Once cities start replenishing sand, Robel said they have to keep doing it regularly.
Atlanta Journal Constitution March 24, 2026A team of researchers including David Hu, a professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Biological Sciences and George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, have visualized mosquito flight behavior for the first time.
Based on their data, the researchers said they don’t think mosquitoes swarm because they’re following the pack. Each appeared to pick up on the cues independently, then found themselves at the same place at the same time.
“It’s like a crowded bar,” said Hu. “Customers aren’t there because they followed each other into the bar. They’re attracted by the same cues: drinks, music, and the atmosphere. The same is true of mosquitoes. Rather than following the leader, the insect follows the signals and happens to arrive at the same spot as the others. They’re good copies of each other.”
