The operational assessment of the Angry Kitten Combat Pod electronic attack system in April demonstrated rapid reprogramming between flights. This combat pod, an updated version of the Georgia Tech Research Institute Angry Kitten pod, simulates enemy electronic attack signals during Air Force test and training missions.

Researched and organized by four high school students out of Georgia alongside leadership from the Georgia Tech Research Institute, the Cybersecurity in Aviation exhibit is now available for all museum visitors to view.

Students were tasked to to create an exhibit, and tie in a connection to the Robins Air Force Base. The exhibit is part of a six-week long camp through the Georgia Tech Research Institute.

There's a new exhibit to see at the Museum of Aviation. The museum unveiled its new cybersecurity exhibit on Wednesday. STEM students with the Georgia Technology Research Institute's summer internship program helped design the exhibit.

Harvesting a field full of fragile blackberries is no easy task. Biomedical engineering roboticist Yue Chen is working with collaborators at Georgia Tech and the University of Arkansas on an autonomous robotic solution to this backbreaking work.

Now Chen is adding more Georgia Tech collaborators to his team — Ye Zhao in mechanical engineering and Ai-Ping Hu in the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) — to take the next steps with the gripper, including making it mobile and able to move autonomously through fields. They have new seed funding from GTRI and more.

A research team led by the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) was recently selected for second-phase funding of a $9.2 million project aimed at demonstrating a hybrid computing system that will combine the advantages of classical computing with those of quantum computing to tackle some of the world’s most difficult optimization problems.

While many people are concerned about robots taking over jobs, in some cases, technology is making conditions safer and easier for workers.

The Georgia Tech Research Institute's (GTRI) Agricultural Technology Research Program (ATRP) is incorporating automation solutions, specifically virtual reality (VR), into poultry processing to boost efficiency and enhance worker safety.

The Agricultural Technology Research Program at the Georgia Tech Research Institute is looking at ways to incorporate automation solutions into the challenging poultry processing environment which is beset by high turnover rates.

Researchers at Georgia Tech are looking to emulate one of nature’s most ingenious methods of compact and durable recordkeeping: DNA.

Seeking to further enhance the benefit of research collaborations with academic faculty, last year GTRI started the Graduate Student Fellowship Program to catalyze long-term research collaborations between their scientists and researchers and Georgia Tech academic faculty.

The first eight projects in the inaugural cohort from the College of Engineering have been a great success, and in the second year the fellowship is expanding to include all the colleges across Georgia Tech.

Offshore wind development has the potential to transform the nation’s energy supply by providing clean power directly to big coastal cities. But a new study might throw a wrench in those plans.

“By studying the light returned, the system will tell us whether water ice is present in these permanently-shaded areas,” said Jud Ready, principal research engineer at GTRI and the Lunar Flashlight project’s principal investigator at Georgia Tech.

In January, Georgia Tech hosted Carrie Castille, director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). Castille and her staff met with researchers at Georgia Tech’s Renewable Bioproducts Institute (RBI) along with GTRI’s Agricultural Technology Research Program (ATRP).

The role women and girls play in STEM is honored annually by the United Nations on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. To recognize this day, AZoSensors interviewed multiple women across the sensors field, including, GTRI Principal Research Scientist Jill Gostin.

In early 2020, Georgia Tech researchers designed a saliva-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and encouraged community members to test weekly to track the health of the campus.

The Georgia Tech Research Institute’s (GTRI) Agricultural Technology Research Program (ATRP) has selected Lance Barrett and Ryan Giometti as the 2022 R. Harold and Patsy Harrison Student Interns. They are the first recipients of the one-year funded internships made possible through an endowment from the R. Harold and Patsy Harrison Foundation.

A new award from NASA will give Georgia Tech researchers easier and faster access to research and engineering funds during the next five years to support advances in rotorcraft vertical lift technology.

The Defense Department’s University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics has some U.S. universities examining solutions to address the pressing challenges of hypersonic flight. One team, Georgia Institute of Technology’s College of Engineering and the Georgia Tech Research Institute—which is conducting hypersonics applied research over the next three years under four grants totaling $6 million—is focusing on high-temperature materials science, aerospace and mechanical engineering issues, radio frequency radomes, vehicle controls, window materials and improvements in temperature measurement capabilities

Scientists at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have demonstrated the feasibility of a new approach that moves trapped ion pairs through a single laser beam, potentially reducing power requirements and simplifying the system.
