Georgia Tech's HomeLab Improves Usability of Two New At-Home Covid-19 Tests
Researchers at Georgia Tech's HomeLab and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have played a key role in helping secure emergency use authorization (EUA) from the FDA for two new at-home Covid-19 tests soon to hit the U.S. market.
GTRI Supports Creative Solutions at the Marne Innovation Workshop
Over Jan. 6-9, GTRI helped host the 3rd Infantry Division (3rd ID) and Georgia Tech’s Army ROTC for the Marne Innovations Workshop. Read how participants utilized the expertise of Georgia Tech students and employees to develop real-world solutions.
Tonga Volcanic Blast Sent Pressure Waves Across Georgia, Instruments Show
Eleven hours after a massive volcanic explosion rocked the Pacific Island nation of Tonga, sound waves from the blast rolled over the state of Georgia – though not many people beyond John Trostel may have noticed.
Director of the Severe Storms Research Center (SSRC) at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), Trostel saw the rumbling sound waves that began with the Tonga blast on instruments at the research center, which is developing new ways to detect severe storms such as tornadoes.
Managing the Complex Electromagnetic Battlefield Environment
The electromagnetic spectrum is becoming more and more crowded as technological advancements have facilitated increasingly complex usage of radio frequencies across all technology sectors. GTRI is helping address the challenges of this increased usage.
GTRI Researchers Share Passion for STEM with Local Hispanic Community
STEM@GTRI recently teamed up with the Georgia Tech Library, GoSTEM, and Georgia Tech's Office of Hispanic Initiatives to offer Spanish-language STEM outreach to students and families through community libraries. In fall 2021, the group hosted virtual sessions featuring GTRI researchers who discussed their experiences as STEM professionals and the importance of exposing students to the basics of STEM early on.
Applying Commercial Airline Maintenance Best Practices to Military Aircraft
A collaboration between the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines and the U.S. Air Force Logistics Directorate’s (HAF/A4L) Tesseract Office of Innovation is helping evaluate the applicability of commercial airline maintenance practices to military aircraft fleets.
Modular Open Architecture Enables Low-Cost Adaptive Radar Applications
Digitally-reconfigurable modular hardware and software building blocks designed to work together are key components of GTRI’s Software-Defined Configurable RF Array (COBRA) initiative, which is intended to facilitate rapid development of low-cost phased-array radar systems for ground, airborne, spaceborne, electronic warfare, communication, and other applications.
New Approach Transports Trapped Ions to Create Entangling Gates
Trapped ions excited with a laser beam can be used to create entangled qubits in quantum information systems, but addressing several stationary pairs of ions in a trap requires multiple optical switches and complex controls. Now, 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.
Claims Database Will Provide New Information on Healthcare in Georgia
A new and comprehensive database of healthcare claims paid in the state of Georgia will help identify disease trends, provide information for making public policy decisions, facilitate new research – and offer a way for consumers to determine the average cost of common procedures such as knee replacement or diagnostic testing such as MRIs.
