A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report recommends four sites for future crewed moon missions: Bhabha Crater, Mons Hadley, the Orientale Basin and the Aristarchus Plateau. Exploring these areas could help scientists better understand the moon’s history, the solar system and potential resources that could support future human exploration. “Exploring these lunar sites […]
A new U.S. National Science Foundation award will support Dr. Faiz Rahman and Dr. Savas Kaya in developing an advanced electron-beam lithography technique capable of creating features smaller than 5 nanometers. The three-year, $550,000 project runs from Sept. 1, 2026, through Aug. 31, 2029. Electron-beam lithography is an important tool for fabricating extremely small customized […]
Researchers are exploring how insects could serve as sensing systems in environments that are difficult or dangerous for humans to access. Research from Washington University in St. Louis combines insects’ biological abilities with engineering to potentially detect hazards, map areas and gather information in challenging environments. “We marry the best biology has to offer with […]
Scientists have discovered a way to use defects in crystals to create stronger materials. By organizing these imperfections into dense networks, researchers strengthened two metal alloys without changing their chemical composition. Notably, this method significantly increased both the amount of stress the metals could withstand and their resistance to gradual warping at high temperatures. These […]
The Institute for Matter and Systems at Georgia Tech, in collaboration with the Georgia Tech Research Institute, has launched the Georgia Tech Quantum Applications Research Center to accelerate the development of quantum technologies across materials, devices, and systems.
