Bioinformatics
moves into the mainstream
Biology is awash
in data and there is a growing need for computers
to store, retrieve, analyze, and predict
the composition and structure of biomolecules.
What's wrong with
the electrical grid?
A
massive blackout in August has forced a reexamination
of the mixture of physics, engineering, economics,
and politics that attempts to keep the power
flowing.
Developing
a chemical imaging camera
Infrared
imaging technology has advanced to a point
where it is a possible to generate a chemical-specific
cube representing composition, wavelength,
and intensity.
Penetrating the fog
High-intensity
ultrashort laser pulses can overcome heavy
scattering through a substantial fog and
may be useful for getting high-bandwidth
signals "the last mile" to individual
homes.
