There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

A Rice University team carried out tests on graphene after making "pre-cracks" in the atom-thick material large enough to be seen under an electron microscope. The goal was to test the fracture toughness of imperfect graphene. From left: Rice materials scientist Jun Lou and graduate students Phillip Loya, Yongji Gong and Lulu Ma.
