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

The American Chemical Society's 2021 winner of its prestigious Priestley Medal is a pioneer who devloped now-widely-used solution-phase colloidal chemistry methods for synthesizing and precisely controlling the fundamental components — the nanocrystals — that underpin much of nanotechnology. Georgia Tech's own nano pioneer, National Medal of Science winner Mostafa El-Sayed, Regents' Emeritus Professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, shares his thoughts on A. Paul Alivisatos' contributions to science.
