DefenceTalkSecurity forces worldwide rely on sophisticated equipment, trained personnel, and detection dogs to safeguard airports and other public areas against terrorist attacks. A revolutionary new electronic chip with nano-sized chemical sensors is about to make their job much easier. The groundbreaking nanotechnology-inspired sensor, devised by Prof. Fernando Patolsky of Tel Aviv University’s School of Chemistry […]https://www.defencetalk.com/nano-sized-chip-sniffs-out-explosives-far-better-than-trained-dogs-60259/

DefenceTalkResearchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have joined with an international team to engineer and measure a potentially important new class of nanostructured materials for microwave and advanced communication devices. Based on NIST’s measurements, the new materials-a family of multilayered crystalline sandwiches-might enable a whole new class of compact, high-performance, high-efficiency […]https://www.defencetalk.com/self-correcting-crystal-may-unleash-the-next-generation-of-advanced-communications-49595/
