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

The Georgia Tech Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN) is home to one of the premier multi-user nanotechnology facilities in the United States. Over 700 users each year utilize more than 200 tools in its cleanrooms and laboratories. As a partner in the Southeastern Nanotechnology Infrastructure Corridor (SENIC), a member of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI), the mission of the IEN is to provide expertise, facilities, infrastructure, and a teaming environment that facilitates interdisciplinary research in nanoscience, nanoengineering, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), microelectronics, nanobio systems, and nano/microfluidics.
In order to foster interdisciplinary communication among its users, IEN will be hosting its third IEN User Day on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 (8:30 AM to 4:45 PM). This special event will provide an opportunity to learn about the latest research activities from academic and industry organizations that use IEN facilities. This venue will also offer a great opportunity to share a glimpse of your work with the diverse audience in attendance. While registration for the event is required, there is no cost to attend and continental breakfast and a box lunch will be provided.
As a user of our facility, we invite and highly encourage you to submit an abstract to be considered for one of the two poster sessions scheduled for this event. Outstanding posters will be recognized at the end of the day. The topics for contributed work include, but are not limited to: electronics, optics/photonics, material, biomedical devices, fabrication technologies, sensors, and next generation devices. Users interested in presenting their research are requested to submit a 1-page abstract (no more than 500 words and 1-2 figures) describing their research activities using IEN facilities. The abstract must include a title, authors (indicating clearly the presenting author), and their affiliations. Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of faculty and research staff, and those selected will be notified by email. The deadline for submission of the abstracts is Tuesday, April 19, 2016. Please email your abstract to amy.duke@ien.gatech.edu.
Important Dates:
April 19: Abstract submission deadline (email to amy.duke@ien.gatech.edu)
