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

Shown (top to bottom) are the structures of platinum 9, platinum 10 and platinum 13 determined through first-principles electronic structure optimization. Dark blue spheres represent platinum atoms, magnesium atoms are in green and oxygen atoms in red. The light blue surfaces represent the excess electronic charge donated to the platinum clusters from the underlying magnesia surface. (Credit: Uzi Landman, Georgia Tech)
