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

Professors Naresh Thadhani (left) and David Bucknall, both from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, examine samples of polymers and metals that were fired against a steel target from the gas gun behind them. They use a high-speed camera to monitor the dynamic deformation of each sample as it hits. (Click image for high-resolution version. Credit: Gary Meek)
