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

How it works: A microfluidic device sends platelets to the gym to test how strong they are. When a strong platelet touches two microdots, it adheres to them and pulls them together, including against the resistance of gels of varying stiffness.
