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 graduate student Feifei Qian shows details of the Sandbot, a bio-inspired hexapedal robot that was used to study how the stiffness of a loosely-packed surface affects the ability to move across it. The robot’s capabilities were compared to those of five desert-dwelling animals, including lizards and crabs. (Credit: John Toon, Georgia Tech)
