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

Kenneth Sandhage, a professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, uses tiny diatoms – a type of single-celled algae – to make unique materials. Here he points to an electron microscope image of a silica glass microshell produced by the Coscinodiscus diatom; the container to his left contains a culture of diatoms that can reproducibly generate such microshells.
