Building a Better Dipstick Test
Georgia Institute of Technology

Lateral flow assays often called ‘dipsticks’ have been a popular point-of-care testing platform for decades (think, pregnancy tests, glucose tests, even coronavirus tests). But they have limitations. A team of researchers is overcoming those limitations with development of a flow control technology, turning these simple tests into complex biomedical assays.

Study Finds Use of Anger in Online Reviews Simultaneously Unhelpful but Influential in Purchase Decisions
Georgia Institute of Technology

The paper, “Anger in Consumer Reviews: Unhelpful but Persuasive?” published in the September 2021 issue of MIS Quarterly, challenges a well-accepted assumption by both researchers and practitioners that more helpful reviews are ultimately more influential. Specifically, their research examines how emotional expressions of anger in a negative review influence the way the review is perceived by its readers.

Underwater Gardens Boost Coral Diversity to Stave Off ‘Biodiversity Meltdown’
Georgia Institute of Technology

A new study from two researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology provides both hope and a potentially grim future for damaged coral reefs. In their research paper, "Biodiversity has a positive but saturating effect on imperiled coral reefs," published October 13 in Science Advances, Cody Clements and Mark Hay found that increasing coral richness by ‘outplanting’ a diverse group of coral species together improves coral growth and survivorship.

Researchers Discover New Side Channel Attack on Low-End Phones
Georgia Institute of Technology

Georgia Tech researchers have recently discovered a new side channel attack that is effective on a wide range of low-end phones. All that's needed for the attack to work is to place a sensor close to the phone, for example, under the coffee table where the phone is sitting. If the sensor bears witness to a single secure transaction, like a bank login, then the attacker can immediately break the user's encryption and forge their digital signature.

Peachy Robot: A Glimpse into the Peach Orchard of the Future
Georgia Institute of Technology

Researchers are developing a robot that utilizes deep learning to automate certain aspects of the peach cultivation process, which could be a boon for many Georgia peach farms grappling with a shortage of workers. The self-navigating robot uses an embedded 3D camera to determine which trees need to be pruned or thinned, and removes the branches or peaches using a claw-like device attached to its arm.

Heat-Controllable CAR T Cells Destroy Tumors and Prevent Relapse in New Study
Georgia Institute of Technology

In a study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Tech researchers build on the lab’s body of work exploring remotely controlled cell therapies, in which the researchers can precisely target tumors, wherever they are in the body, with a local deposition of heat. The latest study shows the system cured cancer in mice, and the team’s approach not only shrunk tumors but prevented relapse – critical for long-term survival. Further studies will delve into additional tailoring of T-cells, as well as how heat will be deposited at the tumor site.
