Our security and our data could be compromised overnight when the first quantum computer is built, says Dr. Julia Kempe of Tel Aviv University's Blavatnik School of Computer Science.

This is one of the first books to present both detailed theoretical background and the application of such theory towards the design and development of realistic photonic based devices.

A development team, working with over thirty years of experience in the sales, service and support of x-ray fluorescence analyzers, has recently launched a new line of XRF Analyzers. The new product line; named Quickshot XRF, focuses on providing a low-cost alternative to the current XRF systems that are available while performing with similar speed, accuracy and repeatability.

Oxford Instruments' revolutionary X-Max large area Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) is now available for the analytical TEM. The ability to handle high count rates in a liquid nitrogen free environment, combined with INCAEnergy TEM software, ensures X-Max will maximise the performance of a TEM.

Oxford Instruments' automated feature and particle analysis system is now available with new image acquisition hardware INCAmicsF+ for even faster and more accurate data acquisition.

Charles Sykes at Tufts University aims to turn molecules into motors.

The SBIR grant will be used to further accelerate technological progression of Altairnano's advanced energy storage systems and batteries. The scope of the award supports development of new cell chemistries that can perform under extremely hot conditions.

Advanced lithium-ion automotive battery producer EnerDel and the Nissan Motor Co. of Japan are teaming up to research a new generation of electrical conductive material intended to reduce cost and improve the performance of electric and hybrid vehicle batteries.

The new reference flow provides designers with a reliable, UMC-validated methodology incorporating the latest in low power techniques and model-based DFM analysis and optimization capabilities for maximum power efficiency, superior quality of results, and accelerated yield ramp for advanced node designs.

Bioo Scientific, an Austin, TX based biotechnology company, announced today that it has been awarded a $500,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant from the National Science Foundation for the development of a targeted in vivo RNA Interference (RNAi) delivery technology.
