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

Georgia Tech Professor Zhong Lin Wang led a team of researchers to develop generators based on the triboelectric effect. The device shown here uses the sliding motion of two different materials to produce enough electricity to light this row of bulbs. (Credit: Georgia Tech)
