Toward future cross-protective vaccines?

Winter is approaching and millions of people will use this year's flu vaccine, different from last year's one, and only able to fight a few strains. Wouldn't be nice to use a vaccine able to fight a vast variety of bacteria? Two teams of U.S. researchers from the University of...

Evanescent lasers to speed up data transmission

It is refreshing to note that some scientists also have a solid literary culture. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara UCSB have built the world's first mode-locked silicon evanescent laser. But what is an 'evanescent' laser? It is a step toward 'combining lasers and other key optical components with the existing...

Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as speed of light, say physicists

A pair of physicists have shown that if processors continue to accelerate in accordance to Moore's Law, we'll hit the wall of faster processing in roughly 75 years. The curtain will eventually come down for silicon in today's manufacturing methods once engineers can no longer further shrink...

USAID.gov compromised, malware and exploits served

The Azerbaijan section at the United States Agency for International Development (azerbaijan.usaid.gov) has been compromised and is embedded with malware and exploits serving scripts approximately around the 1st of March. The malicious script is taking advantage of a series of redirects which are dynamically loading live exploits, or rogue security...

New nanotechnology to speed up computers

University of California at Santa Barbara UCSB researchers have developed new nanoscale structures that will help to speed up computers. This research project was funded by IBM, Intel and other partners including the U.S. National Science Foundation. This new manufacturing process is called block co-polymer lithography or BCP. The scientists...

Nano-hitchhikers to deliver drugs

Another research team has found a way to use nanotechnology to deliver drugs. As you may know, polymeric nanoparticles are excellent carriers for delivering drugs. But as they are quickly removed from the blood, they are somewhat ineffective for the task. Now, researchers from the University of California at Santa...

Routing Stability in Static Wireless Mesh Networks

Considerable research has focused on the design of routing protocols for wireless multi-hop networks. Yet, very little is understood about the stability of routes in such networks. This understanding is important in the design of wireless routing protocols, and in network planning and management. This paper presents results from the...
