Georgia Tech Research Targets ‘Forever Chemicals’ in Drinking Water
Someday, your drinking water could be completely free of toxic “forever chemicals.” Georgia Tech researchers, armed with a cutting-edge machine learning (ML) model, are spearheading a multi-university initiative. Their goal? To design a better membrane that efficiently removes PFAS from drinking water, a significant source of human exposure.

The Secret ‘Sex Lives’ of Bacteria: New Research Challenges Old Ideas About How Species Form
Bacterial and other microbes are thought to evolve primarily through binary fission, meaning asexual reproduction. Using a novel bioinformatic method for detecting gene transfer, researchers tested their hypothesis for how species emerge and are maintained. They found that bacteria evolve and form species more “sexually” than previously thought.
