If you want to learn Morse code, it turns out that all you have to do is play an experimental new Google Glass-based game. Players have the code buzzed into their head while they play, so they don't have to make a point of intentionally memorizing anything.

With its combination of lightness and strength, carbon fiber is being used in a range of aerospace and automotive applications. Unfortunately, the weave isn't easily recyclable. A team at Georgia Tech is trying to change that, using a new method to recycle the materials in thermoset carbon fiber.

By building a robotic version of the mudskipper fish, scientists have learned that its tail plays a crucial role while it's crawling on the land – the finding could have implications for the design of walking robots.

Autonomous cars might be able to handle highway conditions pretty well, but they're still no match for humans when things get a little more unpredictable. A team at Georgia Tech is looking to change that, using scale autonomous rally cars to improve self-driving technology in hazardous conditions.

Artificial intelligence research is opening new avenues in the ever-evolving dance between human game developers and their algorithmically-intelligent tools. Procedural generation can now create universes, game mechanics, and even complete, standalone 2D and 3D games.

Researchers at Georgia Tech are turning to cats to help soften robot landings. Rather than strapping some felines to a robot's underside, the team is studying the way cats twist in the air when falling to let future robots land safely from a jump or fall.

Researchers are laying claim to having observed piezoelectricity in an atomically thin material for the first time. The effect was demonstrated in the world's thinnest electric generator made from a two-dimensional MoS2 material.

Researchers have developed a glove that teaches users Braille, all while focusing on unrelated activities. The wearable computer uses vibrating motors sewn into the knuckles, and was found to assist in developing motor skills in participants without focusing on the movement of their hands.

Ford’s C-Max Solar Energi Concept, which makes its debut at CES next week, charges using a combination of high-efficiency solar panels on its roof and a separate frame roofed with a Fresnel lens to concentrate sunlight on the panels.
-
Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a new technique to print advanced, ink-based electrical circuitry on a desktop printer. The technique can produce flexible electrodes in 60 seconds with equipment and materials that cost less than US$300.
-
Three industrial design students from Georgia Tech recently built the Transport, a bicycle that replaces the spokes in the front wheel with a handy storage compartment that remains in place while the tire rotates.

Georgia Tech is offering an accredited online Master of Science degree in Computer Science which will be open to public matriculation in the 2014-2015 school year. Built around Massive Open Online Courses, the goal is to equal the bricks and mortar degree for less than US$7K in tuition and fees.
