- Explaining science with drawings
- A recent news release from the US National Science Foundation NSF mentions a project it helped to fund, 'Picturing to Learn.' For this project, college students have to create pencil drawings to explain scientific concepts to high school students. As says Felice Frankel, a Harvard University researcher who is leading...

- ACO Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
- The recent popularity of applications based on wireless sensor networks provides a strong motivation for pushing its technological limits. The authors feel that sensor networks can benefit from some of nature's robust solutions. In this work the authors evaluate the applicability of pheromone based foraging techniques, found in many ants,...

- Diamond-based quantum computing
- Quantum computing is usually associated with extremely low temperatures. Now, physicists at Harvard University have shown that diamonds can be used to create stable quantum computing building blocks at room temperature. A nitrogen vacancy in diamond could lead to quantum registers able to store or retrieve data. One of the...

- Performance Measurement of 802.11a Wireless Links From UAV to Ground Nodes With Various Antenna Orientations
- This paper reports measured performance of 802.11a wireless links from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle UAV to ground stations. In a set of field experiments, it records the Received Signal Strength Indicator RSSI and measure the raw link-layer throughput for various antenna orientations, communication distances and ground-station elevations. By comparing the...

- Life inside a cell
- Harvard University has decided to use animations as a tool to enhance the performance of its students in biology. And it selected XVIVO's animation studio to take Harvard University students on a 3D journey. Among other realizations, the company delivered an eight minute animation titled "The Inner Life of the...

- Non-spherical 'armored' gas bubbles
- Gas bubbles are perfectly spherical because this shape offers a minimal surface for any given volume. Even when two bubbles are merging, the results is a larger sphere. But now, researchers from Harvard University have found a way to build stable 'armored' bubbles with non-spherical shapes. They can obtain peapod-,...

- Application Aware Congestion Control in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Radio congestion is a major problem in wireless sensor networks, and has been the subject of much previous investigation. This work examines two aspects of the problem that have not been adequately studied. The first aspect is low level: determining the exact causes of packet loss in networks using the...

- Lessons Learned From Implementing Ad-Hoc Multicast Routing in Sensor Networks
- The Mobile Ad-hoc NETworking MANET community has proposed a wide range of protocols for unicast and multicast routing through mobile wireless devices. Many of these protocols have been studied only under simulation using simplistic radio models, and do not consider issues such as bandwidth or memory limitations. In contrast, the...

- Holograms to help nanotechnology
- In a very short but intriguing article, Technology Research News TRN writes that researchers from Harvard University and New York University have found a way to use holographic optical traps HOTs to manipulate semiconductor nanowires. As this holographic approach to nano-assembly can allow for simultaneous independent manipulation of multiple nanowires,...

- Cooperation, Competition and Cognition in Wireless Networks
- Nodes and/or clusters of a wireless network operating on the same frequency can operate using three different paradigms: Competition: traditionally, this is information theoretically casted in the framework of interference channels. Cooperation: silent transmitters/receivers can help active transmitters/receivers in the transmission/reception of their messages, but have to extract this message...

- Distributed, Secure Load Balancing With Skew, Heterogeneity, and Churn
- Numerous proposals exist for load balancing in peer-to-peer (p2p) networks. Some focus on namespace balancing, making the distance between nodes as uniform as possible. This technique works well under ideal conditions, but not under those found empirically. Instead, researchers have found heavy-tailed query distributions skew, high rates of node join...

- On 9/11, cell phones and other communication systems were greatly impaired in New York City. Telephones systems were overloaded and it was virtually impossible to effectively exchange information with or among employees and emergency responders. At Harvard University, senior management recognized the need for stronger emergency communications systems at the...
