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

Who better to help explain the calculated science behind the artistic craftsmanship of Atlanta's The Neon Company than School of Chemistry and Biochemistry's Eric Shen? His research on electrochromic materials - materials that change colors when zapped with an electric current - provides him with a unique perspective on how color and light can be manipulated. Shen provides insight into what’s going on at the atomic level with the fascinating light displays that The Neon Company produces for iconic Atlanta businesss and film/television productions, along with how it could connect to his own research.
