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

Alan Doolittle and his Ph.D. students Jordan Greenlee and Laws Calley, all of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, have been chosen for the honor of Best Student Abstract for the 27th North American American Molecular Beam Epitaxy Conference. The team presented their paper at the conference, held September 26-29, 2010 in Breckenridge, Colo.
Entitled "MBE Growth of Metal Oxides for Complementary Memristive Applications," this paper details the manufacturing methods for a new electronic device that demonstrates for the first time both complementary (both n-type and p-type conduction) memristors, a technology similar in nature to CMOS silicon and the first demonstration of analog memristors. These advances may be useful in next generation neuromorphic computers, which are computing technologies that mimic mammal brain functionality. In addition, Georgia Tech recently filed a patent on this technology.
This was not the only award that Dr. Doolittle's group received at this conference. Michael Moseley also received the NAMBE Best Student Oral Presentation Award for both 2009 and 2010.
