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

An interdisciplinary team of five Georgia Tech faculty from Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biology, and Mechanical Engineering has been awarded a $3M National Science Foundation grant (NSF 1110947) entitled "Fundamentals of Molecular Nano-Communication Networks."
Led by PI Prof. Ian Akyildiz (ECE), with co-PI's Profs. Faramarz Fekri (ECE), Craig Forest (ME), Brian Hammer (Bio), and Raghupathy Sivakumar (ECE), the team will undertake a 4 year effort (2011-2015) to model, simulate, and experimentally validate with bacteria the fundamental limits and protocols for molecular communication. The grant was awarded through the Computer and Network Systems (CNS) program within the Directorate for Computer & Information Science and Engineering (CISE) at the National Science Foundation.
