A material used for decades to color food items could potentially have a new use in sensors and other applications.

With the health of honeybee colonies wavering and researchers trying to find technological ways to pollinate plants, a new Georgia Tech study has looked at how the insects do their job and clean pollen from their bodies.

Vast seas covered much of the early Earth, and scientists have long debated what kept those seas from freezing. A popular theory is that potent gases such as methane created a thicker greenhouse atmosphere than is required to keep water liquid today.

Cybersecurity researchers have developed a new form of ransomware that was able to take control of a simulated water treatment plant. The simulated attack was designed to highlight vulnerabilities in control systems used to operate industrial facilities.

Using tiny snippets of DNA as “barcodes,” researchers have developed a new technique for rapidly screening nanoparticles for their ability to selectively deliver therapeutic genes to specific organs of the body.

Researchers have harnessed triboelectric nanogenerator technology to dramatically boost the sensitivity of mass spectrometers.

In what may have been the first aerial encounter of its kind, researchers from the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) and the Naval Postgraduate School pitted two swarms of autonomous aircraft against each other over a military test facility.
