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 cuttlefish contains a porous, layered architecture that simultaneously resists high pressures experienced in the deep sea while remaining lightweight and enabling the cuttlefish to control its buoyancy. The mantis shrimp has a dactyl club that exhibits functionally graded elasticity and hardness that leads to high impact resistance needed for striking its prey.
