November 8, 2012 — The Innovation and Leadership in Engineering Technologies and Therapies for diabetes postdoctoral training grant is a cross-disciplinary training program in cell- and tissue-based therapies and novel insulin delivery technologies.

November 1, 2012 — When it comes to shoring up the nation’s economy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding and Rutherford B. Hayes top the list, while Chester Arthur, Herbert Hoover and Martin Van Buren rank at the bottom, according to a new study by the Georgia Institute of Technology. The first-of-its-kind study analyzed up to 220 years of data to estimate an economic “grade point average” for presidents who served from 1789 until 2009. 

October 30, 2012 — Using a new method for precisely controlling the deposition of carbon, researchers have demonstrated a technique for connecting multi-walled carbon nanotubes to the metallic pads of integrated circuits without the high interface resistance produced by traditional fabrication techniques.

October 26, 2012 — A new study shows that jumping can be much more complicated than it might seem. In research that could extend the range of future rescue and exploration robots, scientists have found that hopping robots could dramatically reduce their power demands by adopting a unique two-part “stutter jump.”
