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

Quantum computing, where all the computational work is done at a sub-atomic level, promises to bring more power and speed to traditional data crunching. Chemistry could be among the first disciplines to show off that power with more effective designer drugs, superconductors that can withstand higher temperatures, and greener, energy-efficient materials, among other scientific advances. That's the theme of this well-sourced story in Chemical and Engineering News, which features comments from Ken Brown, associate professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
