Electric pulses through tissue link a rat's motion sensors to nerve implants

Researchers report in Science that SWANS sends electric pulses through body tissue to implants that listen on almost no power. Without large batteries, those implants can be small enough to inject through a syringe.

Where mRNA nanoparticles enter the gut steers which organs they reach in mice

Georgia Tech and Emory researchers found the gut site where a lipid-nanoparticle mRNA dose lands, cheek to rectum, changes which organs it reaches in mice. That turns the delivery site into a tool for aiming oral vaccines at lymph nodes or GLP-1 therapy at the pancreas.

Rents stay 6.5% to 12.5% above expected four years after disasters in California and Florida

Georgia Tech-led research found rents in California and Florida ran 6.5% to 12.5% above expected levels four years after a natural disaster. The rise spread through the broader rental market, so tenants in undamaged homes faced it too.

One-word answers leak a fine-tuned model's coding skill to a student

Researchers from five institutions lifted a student model 5.34 points over a control on HumanEval+ using 5,664 one-word answers from a code-tuned teacher. None of those answers contained code, so a filter that screens outputs for task content would have passed every one.

Georgia Tech rebuilds its skin-puncturing STAR particles out of degradable polymers

The group swapped non-degradable titania for three polymers already used in microneedle patches, then measured how much more drug got into pig skin after a 10-second or 30-second rub.

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt built a marrow chip with the two subniches plasma cells occupy

A Science Advances platform pairs a tonsil-derived lymphoid organoid with a vascularized bone marrow chip whose endosteal and perivascular layers let researchers image human antibody-secreting cells at resolutions living human marrow will not allow.

ByteDance's self-evolved agent harnesses gain 3.11 held-out points inside a 4.75-point noise band

ByteDance's Seed team and collaborators had 18 models write their own agent scaffolding and then rewrite it from task feedback. The held-out gains they report land inside the fluctuation band of their own evaluation.

Illinois more than quadrupled its data center tax exemptions in four years

Six exempt projects in 2020 became 27 by 2024 while the state's own agency stopped reporting an annual revenue-loss figure in FY2023, which is the one number a legislature would need to defend the program or repeal it.

Comparative brain data recasts evolution as a tug of war between two wiring styles

A Georgia Tech group reports in Science Advances that limbic regions grow together as the neocortex shrinks, a pattern that fits a shared wiring budget better than the old story of reason stacked on instinct.

Glass-core substrates spent a billion dollars to arrive at package-level reliability evaluation

The samples are real and so is the physics, but SKC's Absolics panels are still being reliability-tested in Taiwan, and Intel, which promised glass in 2023, now points its own deployment at around 2030.

Wildfire smoke has clawed back a quarter of 40 years of clean-air gains, and desk jobs are not exempt

A Georgia Tech economist puts the erosion at more than half in many Western states, with health damages running to $130 billion a year. The productivity losses are the part nobody books.
