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

MIT and Georgia Tech researchers are designing an imaging system that can read closed books.
In the latest issue of Nature Communications, the team describes a prototype of the system, which they tested on a stack of papers, each with one letter printed on it. The system was able to correctly identify the letters on the top nine sheets.
Barmak Heshmat, a research scientist at the MIT Media Lab, is joined on the paper by Ramesh Raskar, an associate professor of media arts and sciences; Albert Redo Sanchez, a research specialist in the Camera Culture group at the Media Lab; two of the group’s other members; and by Professor Justin Romberg of the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Alireza Aghasi, Romberg's former postdoctoral fellow who now works with IBM.
