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

Carbon capture was supposed to get rid of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But a new method, proposed by Christopher Jones, the New Vision Professor in the School of Chemistry & Biochemistry, might be safer and better. Direct Air Capture (DAC) doesn't just prevent carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere; it also removes carbon dioxide that may have been in the air for a hundred years.
