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

While the analog vs digital chip has been trending towards the latter in recent years, a breakthrough by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology might shift things the other way.
The team there has successfully built and demonstrated a configurable analog chip that not only can compute using 1,000 times less electrical power than comparable digital floating-gate configurable devices already in use, it can also be scaled down to a hundred times smaller.
The team is led by Jennifer Hasler, a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
