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

Dr. Kippelen is a professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech and the associate director for the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics.
Energy Express launched on April 27 and will focus on research that encompasses the science and engineering of light and its impact on sustainable energy development, the environment, and green technologies.
Research featured in Energy Express will highlight the role optics plays in energy efficiency and sustainability, from making solar energy economical to providing energy from fusion, studying new combustion processes that can ease carbon dioxide sequestration, monitoring the nitrogen cycle, and realizing significant energy savings using solid-state lighting, such as inorganic and organic light emitting diodes (LEDs and OLEDs). To underscore the importance of optics in energy, Energy Express will also publish a series of focus issues dedicated to selected research areas, the first of which is on new developments in solar concentrators.
Created as a result of discussions from the OSA Energy Advisory Group, Energy Express may be found at http://www.opticsinfobase.org/oe/virtual_issue.cfm?vid=108.
