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

This SciTechDaily item is a reprint of a Georgia Tech news release on School of Physics Professor Flavio Fenton and his continuing research into electric cardio signals and arrhythmias. In a study Fenton co-authored, it was found that alligator hearts don't suffer from fibrillations (irregular heartbeats) in the same way that humans do. (The title of Fenton's research paper? “Defibrillate you later, alligator; Q10 scaling and refractoriness keeps alligators from fibrillation.") The study is also highlighted in this Phys.org story.
