The wildfire that has raged across more than 150,000 acres of the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia and Florida has sent smoke billowing into the sky as far as the eye can see. Now, new research published by the Georgia…
By analyzing network traffic going to suspicious domains, security administrators could detect malware infections weeks or even months before they're able to capture a sample of the invading malware, a new study…
A new vulnerability affecting Android mobile devices results not from a traditional bug, but from the malicious combination of two legitimate permissions that power desirable and commonly-used features in popular…
The winning project in the 2017 Carbon Reduction Challenge class will avoid the emission of six million pounds of carbon dioxide, or about 2,720 metric tons. This is not only a record in the ten year history of…
Amid the white and gold Stingers and Tech Trolleys on campus, a slew of blue bikes has emerged.
As part of the City of Atlanta’s recent expansion of the Relay Bike Share program, Georgia Tech now has six…
A warming climate could affect the stability of alpine grasslands in Asia’s Tibetan Plateau, threatening the ability of farmers and herders to maintain the animals that are key to their existence, and potentially…
A team of Tech students spent part of spring semester building an ultra-fuel-efficient vehicle for the Shell Eco-Marathon. The team took the vehicle, built in just six weeks, to Detroit, Michigan, to go up against…
