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

MRSEC SEMINAR SERIES WITH DR. JAMES TOUR The next MRSEC Seminar of the Fall 2011 semester will be held on Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 3pm in the Suddath Seminar Room in the IBB building located on the first floor. We are pleased to welcome Dr. James Tour from Rice University, Houston, Texas, as our speaker. His talk is titled: Graphene Synthesis and Applications Abstract:
Several new routes to the growth, preparation and manipulation of graphene and its derivatives will be presented. The graphene growth can be controlled for monolayer, bilayer and multilayer structures. The graphene derivatives include graphene oxide, graphene oxide nanoribbons, graphene nanoribbons, edge functionalized graphene nanoribbons, and intercalated multilayer structures with precise real-time de-intercalation being observed. The use of graphene in electronics, materials and oil exploration applications will be discussed.
