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
*********************************
The TraX project is an inter-university effort, involving researchers from 8 universities, aimed at elucidating the geometric structures in phase space which determine the speed and nature of chemical reactions and how they are affected by external influences such as light pulses or noise.
The effort is highly interdisciplinary and it involves Mathematics (Dynamical Systems), Numerical Computations, Physics, and Chemistry all working together to understand experimental phenomena and make predictions.
The project has been funded by the European Research Council, Mathematics Division for 4 years and it will sponsor visits of European scientists to GT and provide opportunities for graduate students to collaborate in this area.
