Orbit achieved for these @GTaerospace students! With NASA, they’re operating a small CubeSat now flying ~300 miles above Earth and will test a new kind of dual-mode propulsion for the next 9 months or so. b.gatech.edu/4xWvaex

Georgia Tech engineers are teaching autonomous systems how to be “surprised” — to recognize when situations change & adjust. A @GeorgiaTechISyE team created a framework to help machines identify the unexpected, determine if it matters, and then decide how to respond. b.gatech.edu/4jqxwPi

In this @GTMSE_3 materials science class, students don’t present — they perform. Faisal Alamgir's students mix theater & science, creating mini plays about important equations as they learn about atomic-scale structure-property relationships and materials characterization. b.gatech.edu/4hQ76oO

Inspired by our nervous system, Georgia Tech engineers have built a wireless network to allow wearables & implants to work together like never before. With it, they can use sensors in one part of the body to trigger a therapeutic response elsewhere. b.gatech.edu/4ryty9p

Georgia Tech engineers are leading a $10M+ @DARPA project investigating whether tiny mechanical forces can help computers process information using far less energy — and still be practical for real-world use. See what they have in mind: b.gatech.edu/4r3CUtl
