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

A total of 20 technologies developed by Georgia Tech researchers will be featured at the TechConnect World Conference in Anaheim, California, on May 14- 16. Of these, three received the National Innovation Award and will be recognized at the event.
TechConnect is the world’s largest showcase and accelerator for industry-vetted emerging technologies ready for commercialization. It provides opportunities for potential corporate, government, and investment partners to learn more about these emerging technologies.
The three Georgia Tech-developed projects that received special recognition include:
This invention devised an approach involving surface modification of natural sorbents to improve performance and environmental viability for toxic substance remediation. The commercial applications for this technology involve contamination recovery for environmental emergencies such as oil spills.
Inventor: Mark Losego, assistant professor, School of Materials Science and Engineering
This project integrates stretchable components through solution processing, resulting in fabricated semiconducting films with significantly improved mechanical elasticity. The commercial applications for this technology include stretchable devices, wearable devices, and biomedical sensors.
Inventor: Elsa Reichmanis, professor and Pete Silas Chair in Chemical Engineering, School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
This technology involves the fabrication of patient tissue-mimicking phantoms with geometrical and mechanical accuracies using 3D-printed metamaterials. Commercial applications for this technology include surgery planning, model evaluation, and medical education using the 3D-printed model.
