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

Robot swarms, called "smarticles," can't move on their own. Collectively, though, they can be programmed to flap arms and nudge each other as part of a group. These smarticles and School of Computer Science Professor Dana Randall, one of the lead researchers on the project, are featured in an article in Quanta Magazine.
