Georgia Tech’s Partnership for an Advanced Computing Environment (PACE) recently deployed a cluster to support the Nobel Prize winning Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) project.

To walk or run with finesse, roaches and robots coordinate leg movements via signals sent through centralized systems -- but utterly divergent ones. Despite their seemingly unbridgeable differences, researchers have devised handy principles and equations from studying roaches to assess how both beasts and bots locomote and to improve robotic gait.

Atlanta-based Novelis Inc. and Georgia Tech have announced a new collaboration to establish the Novelis Innovation Hub at Georgia Tech. The company has committed $2.5 million to initiate research, faculty, student, and educational program support.
