Innovation Could Bring Super-accurate Sensors, Crime Forensics
Wed, 18 Aug 2010 10:07:00 -0500
A new technology enabling tiny machines,
called micro electromechanical systems, to "self-calibrate" could make possible, super-accurate and precise sensors for crime-scene forensics, environmental testing and medical diagnostics.

Dark-matter Search Plunges Physicists to New Depths

This month physicists are taking their attempt
to unmask the secret identity of dark matter into a Canadian mine more than a mile underground. They are deploying a 4-kilogram bubble chamber at SNOLab, which is part of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Ontario, Canada. A second 60-kilogram chamber will follow later this year.

Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems in Cars May Compromise Privacy, Pose Security Threat

New wireless
technologies in cars may compromise a driver's privacy and pose a security threat, warn researchers at Rutgers University. Modern automobiles are increasingly equipped with wireless sensors and devices, such as systems that monitor air pressure inside tires and trigger dashboard warnings if a tire's pressure drops. These wireless signals can be intercepted 120 feet away from the car using a simple receiver, despite the shielding provided by the metal car body.
