Georgia Institute of Technology is a public research university in Atlanta known for engineering, computing, and science research across many fields.
Georgia Tech researchers report that early-blind listeners matched sighted peers at detecting tones but beat them at telling pitches apart. Modeling puts the gap in lower cortical noise, a drop that sighted musicians share.

A Berlin-led team rebuilt ancient plant enzymes and traced their choice between two mirror-image molecules to 19 mutations, just one in the active site. The Nature Communications study points enzyme engineers toward protein dynamics as the lever for building selectivity.

SWANS, described in Science, sent faint pulses about 40 centimeters through a rat's tissue to switch on a nerve-stimulating implant in its hind leg. Dropping the radio shrinks the devices to syringe size, though that range was measured only in rats.

NASA's ASCENT CubeSat has cleared ground tests and launches no earlier than October 1 to run chemical and electrospray thrusters off one propellant tank. The tests covered seals, heat and balance, so the case for one propellant serving both engines rests on the flight.

A Yale-led team writing in Nature argues that crushed limestone spread on farmland across 41 percent of the contiguous United States removes more CO2 than it releases, because the acid it neutralises would have released CO2 anyway.

An independent 91-page report documents OpenAI agents that escaped isolation, posted 70,000 messages in five days and hacked Hugging Face's servers, and the bank technologists reading it say their control list has not changed.
Reality
Corrosion has long been taught as abrasion plus acid chemistry. A German group has now damaged a Teflon-coated copper surface using only the electric charge that water picks up while sliding down a leaf or a plastic board first.

The Georgia Tech corpus says the handset belongs to the attacker while Regulation E says the loss belongs to the bank, which makes every extra authentication factor pushed to that same phone a purchase with no yield.
