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

Claire BergerWith its single layer of carbon atoms, graphene is at least 100 times stronger than steel, ultra-light, as stretchy as rubber, and the best heat conductor in the world. But the supply of graphene has been limited by the painstaking processes used for producing it in the lab. A new study shows that a split-second, ultra-hot flash of electricity focused on any item containing carbon can also produce graphene. Georgia Tech researcher Claire Berger commented on the usefulness of this new technology.
