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

Sheldon JeterSchool of Mechanical Engineering Professors Peter Loutzenhiser and Sheldon Jeter were selected to participate in a new R&D project of the U.S. Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative. The Concentrating Solar Power: Efficiently Leveraging Equilibrium Mechanisms for Engineering New Thermochemical Storage (CSP:ELEMENTS) project seeks to design a system that concentrates sunlight onto a falling curtain of sand-like particles called perovskites. The project, led by Sandia National Laboratories, will evaluate how effective the chemical reaction is through a test of a 100 kilowatt hour-thermal thermochemical energy storage system. The project was awarded $3.5 million and was one of only six new concentrating solar technologies projects selected nationwide. To read more about the project, click here.
