Researchers in @georgiatechchbe.bsky.social can use light to make a microscopic “muscle” contract on command. The ability to control those tiny forces could inform designs for new synthetic cells that deliver drugs. b.gatech.edu/4mgaSZv

Congratulations to three of our alumni recognized at the College of Engineering's Alumni Awards ceremony: * Gail Panarello Smith, ChE 1978 * Steven K. Hall, ChBE 1988 * Meha Rungta, MS ChE 2011, PhD ChE 2012 bit.ly/4uPPMVu

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of ChBE Professor Larry McIntire, who shaped the trajectory of The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. Read the full story honoring his life and please share memories here: bme.gatech.edu/about-us/mem...

Excited to highlight our latest work!🎉 In our latest J. Membr. Sci. publication led by Woo Jin Jang (Lively group, @georgiatechchbe.bsky.social), we report uphill transport of phenolics in bio-oil mixtures via "sorpvection", where methanol flux drives guaiacol enrichment across DUCKY-9 membranes.

Tiny worms, big surprises! When placed in sand-filled Petri dishes, centimeter-long aquatic worms like T. tubifex spontaneously sweep up particles and reorganize their environment — all without a brain. Research team co-led by Saad Bhamla (@bhamlalab.bsky.social, ChbE@GT). bit.ly/4bzXFao
